Re: TX: man fleeing in your BMW in daytime - can you legally shoot

#1: Yes, owned a beautiful 520 series for the four years I lived in Germany. Great car that just hummed on the autobahn and got great mileage at 150kph (that is 93 MPH). Took it up to 200kph a few times (that is 124mph). Above that, front end started to dance a little and I slowed it down a bit.

#2: IANAL, but, if the guy/owner was in the store, the perp was not forcibly attempting to remove him from the car. Did the perp display or threaten to display a weapon? Could the owner/shooter articulate how/why he felt he was in danger of deadly force or even force?

This one will be sorted out by the Bexar County DA. Do not know the climate there. Where I live, DA would probably smile and choose not to charge. That said, personally, I would not have shot.
