...tell them that if the situation is as in 9.41, and 9.42 is satisfied, or 9.43...the answer can be yes...legally...
...if ALL of the above isn't satisfied, either for your own or another's property...NO...you can't pick and choose...
...personally, my choice is NO, I would not shoot someone to prevent theft of my property...YES, I would shoot an intruder who showed any sign of personal threat or who was armed or armed himself while he was on/in my property...my choice says I value life more than any THING I own...
...sometimes the better choice goes way above what the law allows...

Drjfiremedic wrote:The instructor didn't make it as simple as I put it. I, unlike many I see on here, do not have all day to write an in depth narrative. A blood act, as described by Texas penal code is simply "rape". The reason I leave my replies short is because people shouldn't rely on our responses, people simply shine a little light on the subject. However, it should still be the original persons obligation to pick up a copy of CHL laws and read into it. Responses on this website, for the most part, should do little more then point people in the right direction for finding regulations for themselves.
...first time for me to see the term "blood act"...I'd like to read that description in the penal code...can you cite it? I completely agree with you that this forum's postings should simply help us know where to READ IT FOR OURSELVES...because anyone can remember something wrong or misquote it...but that won't help us in court...we gotta make our decisions based on the written law...

Re: Can You Shoot to Protect Property in TEXAS
...it's our responsibility to know and follow the specific points of the law before protecting our property with deadly force...to take an active part in protecting you and yours is admirable...to do it wrong is criminal...your instructor should not have made such sweeping blanket statements, and you should not rely on them...what, please, is your understanding of a "blood act"? Haven't heard that one...

...we can choose to live in fear...or freedom...but not both...it's a shame when some choose to live in fear, when so many have put their lives on the line for freedom...
