“Are you sure about that? I did a search and every answer I found stated you can use force up to and including deadly force to protect your home, and you don’t have to wait to be attacked.”
Read it on the Internet, huh?
The carpet-bagging Blue State Lt. Governor, Dan Patrick determines the legislative agenda. He's on record as vowing to fight the NRA on universal background checks.
***She believes that homeowners are too eager to pull the trigger when facing armed home invaders.***
Rest assured that if someone is breaking into your home they are not coming in to shake your hand.
Can home invaders be held at gunpoint while they’re stabbed or beaten to death? Asking for a friend.
Nope. She’s from Irving (near Dallas). Though there are far too many people here in Austin that take similar views.
Another wise Latina.
Exactly.
Propose an amendment to the legislation that “safeharbors” a victim that shoots the criminal and never reports it.
Actually, in Texas after dark, it is...
Here's a tip...don't steal.
American King James Version
If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him.
-Exodus 22:2
Douay-Rheims Bible
If a thief be found breaking open a house or undermining it, and be wounded so as to die: he that slew him shall not be guilty of blood.
No one can be sure, in this instance, unless the plumbing is checked!
Who knew Helen Thomas had a twin?
I only said "Demonicrat." Any biological speculation is left as an exercise for the reader.
Pandering to her (felonious) constituency and/or going after the prized "armed intruder" vote.
Smart move!

I’m considering a public notice and signage for my yard:
Unapproved firearms are not allowed.
Persons entering this property with unapproved firearms will be treated as a threat.
NO EXCEPTIONS
Please contact homeowner at PHO-NEN-UMBR for approvals.
Please call MY-LAWYER if you have a warrant.
I’ll politely ask the police to return and leave their guns in the car.
While I hold my shotgun in my front door.
America...F*ck Yeah!
Well, then you are allowed to do something - but only if you can demonstrate actual "intent to harm" on the part of the kidnappers.

He doesn’t determine the agenda in the House. It’ll never get out of committee.
This is certainly a bad bill, but the article is not entirely accurate. The bill would not repeal the Castle Doctrine per se—you would still have no duty to retreat from your own home before using deadly force.
It would, however, repeal the “stand your ground” portion of the law by re-imposing a duty to retreat anywhere else.
It would also weaken the Castle Doctrine by repealing the evidentiary provisions of Tex. Penal Code 9.32(b) and (d), which basically provide that (b) the use of deadly force is presumed reasonable when used against someone unlawfully and with force entering the home, vehicle, or place of business, and (d) prohibiting the jury from considering whether the defendant attempted to retreat when determining whether the defendant reasonably believed deadly force was necessary.
This bill is bad enough. There is no need to weaken our arguments against it by misrepresenting it.
The good news is that gun control and anti-self defense bills like this are filed every session, and never see the light of day. This bill will die in committee like every one before it.
You go check first....
Just wait until some large police forces get defunded and see what people really think about not defending their homes with a firearm.
Wink, wink...
