Re: Would it be legal to shoot this guy in the back?

Let me take a drastic sharp corner at speed here and pose this
question:

The above quoted statutes refer to the protection of "land". No trespasser can
steal your land by trespassing upon it.

So just what the heck is the intent of the clauses representing land?
Would a landowner be justified in using deadly force against a rogue trucker with a Bobcat
who stole some gravel?

This defense of land clause always leaves me scratching my head as to what an applicable
scenario would be.

Re: Would it be legal to shoot this guy in the back?

After perusing the law quoted in a post above it seems that a CHL customer of the bank
would not be justified in shooting this perp since:
1. The robbery happened in the daytime, not the nighttime. We have more leeway if it's night.
2. Although we might be justified in shooting him to stop his escaping with the loot,
the loot belongs to the bank, not us as a customer in line.
3. The bank, as a 3rd party, did not commission us to guard their property.

Comments from the peanut gallery welcomed.
