DEADLY FORCE IN THE PROTECTION OF PROPERTY – A VERY RISKY BUSINESS
I am a big believer in knowing the Self-Defense Laws of your specific state and locality.
After you read this article, do a search for your specific state and read up on the Self-Defense Laws pertaining to the Defense of Property. All states vary in how a citizen can respond.
For example in Texas, according to TX Penal Code 9.42, I can use Deadly Force to prevent arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft DURING THE NIGHTTIME and criminal mischief DURING THE NIGHTTIME.
Know the Law! because I guarantee you when something like this occurs, the only person you will be able to rely on is YOU.
Here is a good basic primer on what to do AFTER a self-defense shooting, although I highly recommend you don’t stop there.
The legal fight AFTER the shooting is one of the areas most all armed citizens fail to read up on. Be on the lookout for book and article recommendations.
Stay Alert, Stay Armed, Stay Informed and Stay Dangerous!
