Thanks all, I agree, it is not worth shooting someone over a radar detector.. and I am not advocating that. I just wanted to see what others would do if they were in same situation.. I don't want to shoot anyone, I don't want to get shot.. I don't want to deal with it honestly, it is something that has been going on over and over in my head.. 'what if' what if i went out side and caught him since it was in my work parking lot I cannot carry so I probaly would have called cops if i saw it yesterday..

thanks again all

Thanks All, I just noticed anther thread on the same issue a little bit down, I apologize for opening a new thread..

Like I said, it just got me thinking of what I 'should' do in the situation since it got me thinking... I am not saying I WANT to do this.. I am just asking.. so if I walk out and see someone in my car.. just let them do their thing? yell at them to stop and if they threaten me / have a weapon then take appropriate action <--- that seems like the best thing in my opinion

So yesterday my Jeep was broken into. I got out to the parking lot at 4pm after work and notice that the key hole was damaged and someone got in and took my radar detector. I wanted to know, and I have been pondering in my head, If the event I walked out and saw the guy doing it, since I have a chl, what 'should' i have done? I have been looking through the law and I really suck at reading legal jargon..

If it is at night, and someone is committing theft, then this is a situation where you can draw and use deadly force if needed
I see that also, it is justified if someone attempts or is committing burglary.. does this apply to a car ?

What would you all do in the situation, you are walking out and see someone breaking into / inside your car

thanks!
