“I don’t know of a single state which permits discharging a weapon at a person over a property crime involving a vehicle (unoccupied).
That includes Texas.”
When I moved to Texas in the early 80s I went to a seminar on the rules regarding deadly force. The takeaway was that it was permissible to shoot someone stealing ANYTHING from your property. Thinking I must have misunderstood, I asked what about a newspaper? The answer, you can shoot em. Of course things may have changed since those days.
I recieved the same training. I’m not a lawyer. This is not legal advice. My understanding was that it is permitted at night and only on your own property. I believe Texas is the only state that allows this.
