lay it down for us, Petty. You're a trained professional, so what would you suggest Ryan do?

in TX, if a theft is being committed in the hours of darkness deadly force is authorized. we also have what's called the castle doctrine.

basically, deadly force is authorized if you feel your life, or that of a third person, is in imminent danger in your residence or curtlidge of residence. I said that to say this, if you draw your weapon be prepared to use it. sounds like Ryan has had justifiable cause to use deadly force if he choose to. what you should never do is fire a "warning shot".

you are responsible for each shot you fire and must be aware of your "backdrop". if you are authorized to fire a warning shot ( that round could land anywhere) you should/could be able to articulate how you were in fear for you life. because you were in fear for your life, and to protect your life and the lives of your family members, you applied deadly force.

warning shots are ridiculous, dangerous, and should never be taken. you either have the right to shoot the bad guy or you don't. if you don't have the right to shoot the bad guy and you fire off a warning shot you could be charged accordingly

thank you Jason!!!!!

[wolfeman131]

and there is the low down.

Let's just all hope that none of us, even the professionals, finds themselves in a situation that requires deadly force.

In Texas you can be on the phone with a 911 operator who is telling you to stay inside as your neighbors house is being robbed, tell him you are going to kill the thiefs, walk outside and blow them away with a shotgun, and get away with it all hahahahahaha

You also have the right to use deadly force to protect your personal property if I'm not mistaken. This extends into your car if I remember correctly from my CHL class.

Why would you want to kill somone for stealing property especially someone else's? Just because you can doesn't always, even rarely, means you should. And I'm not even touching on the moral question. In my mind I don't even get that far. I'm talking pain, suffering and the financial impact of the shooter and their family. Civil lawsuits go for years and cost a unbelievable amount of moneyregardless I you win or loose.
