Bad Karma..........

And Your Insurance Agent.
Stay Inside, With Gun.
[Duty to Retreat, and All That.]
Otherwise, Somebody Might Need Emergency Medical Service from Shawn. Might be Car Owner, Who Shoulda Stayed Inside. And Called 911.

My thoughts exactly SFG.
Though I would like to hear from one of our legal experts on the statute regarding the Use of force to protect property. How would it apply (or not) in this situation. What circumstances need to be present for it to be lawful? Figure this is a perfect time to stimulate some discussion about what is, to me at least, a confusing section of the law.

Ain't none here to hear from...all we can do is read the law and try to make sense of it
Lorimor:
You were safe in your house? No threat to you whatsoever? You then went outside, with a gun? What, were you looking for trouble? Were you looking for a fight?
Also, KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET!!!! DON'T POINT THE MUZZLE AT ANYTHING YOU DON'T WISH TO DESTROY (OR PAY FOR)!!!
This is just red meat for the anti's.
