Just scream , drop it ! ! That should let the fleeing guy know you have something to stop him.
But for a few dollars in that bag, let him have it. If you shoot em, you got a wounded fool and /or a dead body, you'd be stuck with the legal system, DA after you and u ending up in jail and in debt. SOmetimes the law allows you but u ahve to have the better judgment in pullling the trigger. Its no easy way and best is stay alert and be ready to make the judgment call .

Even if its legal, its a fuzzy area. But what if you have something valuable in there like diamonds and heirlooms of great value, of course, that will be something you decide.
In the dead of night, u are pretty covered.
But in Harris County , its a different story esp the DA here says otherwise.
