I know a lot of people feel differently about this but just like an earlier post said, he was within the law and look what happened to him. There is not enough value in material items for me to risk me going to jail or become financially ruined.Don't get me wrong, if someone enters my home,car or tries to do harm, I have no issues taking care of the situation.

It's not Austin. Kingsland is about 50 miles northwest of Austin. The DA, Sam Oatman, is an old-timer.

:iagree: ...my feelings also. No way am I going to go through all the legal crud so I can save someones TV or DVD player. That is why we have theft insurance. Nobody is going to pay my legal fees because I shot some criminal for stealing their DVD player. It just is not worth it.
