I would never dream of referring to my wife as "my ol' lady". She is known to all who know me as "my better half". And its true ;-)

Maybe, but I'm not worried enough about "them" coming to get me as I am about some crackhead presuming my home is his playground.
Baby steps my friend, baby steps. The Antis do it, we can too.

Found a link explaining the "Castle Doctrine" bill by the Senator who will be proposing it. You can read a little about it here.
Of course, until the law is actually proposed, we have no real idea of what it will contain, but this is a pretty good summary.

Thats not a very good perspective. What if the poor fool crawling through your window is some drunk that thought he was at his house and had locked himself out? Now you have shot and killed a man who was not a threat. However, if you asserted yourself, and made if very clear to him that he needed to leave, and he persisted and became violent... then your options change.

As a side note, this is the very reason that we have senators pushing for a Castle Doctrine law down in Austin. If that passes, certain things will be changing with regard to a person illegally entering your home.

Maybe he meant that it would be justifiable if someone was breaking into your car... with you inside. It could be seen that if someone is trying to carjack you, they are breaking into your property.
