Kevmo: he came OUTSIDE to wave his gun around.
Tired: He remained on his property.
***It looks like it depends on what Texas law has to say about it and it appears they don’t care about that.

His girlfriend (the father’s ex) was standing outside when the man went inside and came back out with the gun.
***Yup. He was under no apparent threat when he went for the gun. He did tell the victim to leave and the guy didn’t leave, instead choosing to try to take that gun away. I consider this a bad shoot but nobody in the court system is asking me.

The whole thing did not have to happen.
***Agreed. Whose responsibility was it to sit down & shut up? Apparently it was the victim’s because he was on the other dude’s property.

Everyone involved made poor choices, but technically, the shooting was self-defense.
***Technically I think it wasn’t, but it is not prosecutable under current law and Texan attitudes, that kind of thing. But hey, the guys lived in Texas and a gun was produced so the thing to do is get the hell out of there.

Texas - Castle Doctrine. Remember Joe Horn?
***Nope.
