Re: Poll: Would you shoot to retrieve property
I seriously doubt that I would just walk up and slaughter somebody stealing my weedeater, although by Texas law it's legal to do so if it's at night. But as has been pointed out, there are variables and "what about" questions, especially if somebody's stealing something valuable, like a car. Say you see somebody coming out of your house with a handful of your grandmother's jewelry. Kill him? What about just shooting to wound, even though you COULD legally kill him? What about yelling at him to drop the jewelry, and firing to near-miss him?
