But even then you could end up behind bars in some states. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1373875??? Why would you end up in bars if someone was trying to kill you and you defended yourself? Don't be surprised. An old lady got sued by someone who tried to rob her because her roof was covered in snow and the theif fell and sipped into her pool. She almost got put in jail and was charged 10k I think. This is because most states have a law that says you cant shot someone stealing your proporty.. If someone was to break into your house and yell out im just here to take your TV and leave, you can not kill that person. You will be charged. They have to be threating YOUR life or people in your houses LIFE. Just the way laws read. Do your research on what the laws are for defending house, proporty and life. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1233101 United States 05/07/2011 03:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In texas you can. Quoting: nzrevaYep. It's called a "castle law"...goes back to English Commonwealth Law(a man's home is his castle). But in most cases the intruder MUST be inside your home, not just on the property...therefore a threat to you or yours. It does get reviewed and heard by a Grand Jury...they actually decide whether or not to bring charges...usually abiding by the recommendation of the local DA. Obviously, if you threatened the dead guy last week, they're gonna be VERY suspicious. Trespassers who come on to a persons property in Texas knowing they are unwelcome, and with the intent of committing a crime are liable to be shot dead on sight. If you come on to my property and you commit a crime, I will shoot you dead, no questions asked. Why should I risk the lives of innocent people for a drug crazed dopehead? The actual laws leave a lot of grey areas ,and subject to interpretation, but for the most part if you shoot a criminal in the act of committing a felony on your property in Texas, no charges are filed, and if they are, the jury will acquit the accused . Trespassing with the intent to commit any other crime no matter how minor is a felony. Breaking into or entering without permission of a habitation is a shoot on sight, no retreat necessary offense. If you have an intention of doing this, I recomend you find another state to do it it, because there are many here with the mindset that killing a criminal is a gift to society. |
