well, sorta,,,,,unless you're keeping your airplane in your house you'll probably get to make lots of new friends at huntsville. if you have a carry permit you know all this but generally you can shoot to preserve life, not property and generally if it's dark and someone is trying to get into your house then it's deemed reasonable to fear for your life. better you should wing him, wrap him up in spare tiedowns, take him to the house and do him there. Sorry Dan, but you're wrong... I've got a CHL and I am very well aware of the laws... You're mistaking Texas with some of those ****in' socialistic liberal ass states up north... Hell, there was a case awhile back where a guy shot a repo guy who was getting his truck... It was a legal repo, but the guy claimed that he thought that his truck was being stolen... The shooting was justified... The Texas laws: snip 9.41. Protection of One's Own Property (a) A person in lawful possession of land or tangible, movable property is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to prevent or terminate the other's trespass on the land or unlawful interference with the property. (b) A person unlawfully dispossessed of land or tangible, movable property by another is justified in using force against the other when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to reenter the land or recover the property if the actor uses the force immediately or in fresh pursuit after the dispossession and: (1) the actor reasonably believes the other had no claim of right when he dispossessed the actor; or (2) the other accomplished the dispossession by using force, threat, or fraud against the actor. 9.42. Deadly Force to Protect Property A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property: (1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; and (2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary: (A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or (B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and (3) he reasonably believes that: (A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or (B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury. 9.43. Protection of Third Person's Property A person is justified in using force or deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property of a third person if, under the circumstances as he reasonably believes them to be, the actor would be justified under Section 9.41 or 9.42 in using force or deadly force to protect his own land or property and: (1) the actor reasonably believes the unlawful interference constitutes attempted or consummated theft of or criminal mischief to the tangible, movable property; or (2) the actor reasonably believes that: (A) the third person has requested his protection of the land or property; (B) he has a legal duty to protect the third person's land or property; or (C) the third person whose land or property he uses force or deadly force to protect is the actor's spouse, parent, or child, resides with the actor, or is under the actor's care. /snip End result -- you break into my house, my car, or my plane, you're toast... If I'm feeling particularly generous that day, I *might* let your friends and relatives find your body... Hell, if you make a mess, you should clean it up yourself, right? Preferrably in an ecologically friendly manner... http://grumman581.googlepages.com/gators-gotta-eat-too |
