One of the issues here in Texas is burglary of a motor vehicle is just a Misdemeanor. It would be a tough sell to try and prove the person you shot was trying to advance the charge to theft if you have nothing in your car or they haven't tried jimmying the ignition.JALLEN wrote:Parked on the street openly, I guess so.tommyg wrote:Somebody broke into my car all they got was a small radio.
The radio was worth less than the window they broke to get it.
I would strongly advise not leaving any type of gun in an unattended vehicle
Police officer friends advised us here to not lock our cars, if they were parked in the driveway, in front of the house etc. Leave them unlocked, and put a Viper alarm system in. Then when the alarm goes off, you grab your pistol, run outside and shoot 'em.
This worked out pretty well for the few who got the chance to try it. I kept my cars unlocked and alarmed for years, helping make Darrel Issa wealthy, never was hit, but my former partner was. He woke up to the sound of his truck alarm going off, grabbed his pistol and headed out but, by the time he got there, the perp was way down the road, leaving behind a fairly neat set of burglar tools. At least the windows weren't broken.
