Texas has the castle doctrine. The trespassing gentleman had been repeatedly asked to leave the property. The landowner retrieved his weapon as protection after trespasser refuse to leave his property and had repeatedly acted aggressively toward the land owner. With weapon in hand the landowner once more asked the trespasser to leave his property. The trespasser answered with more aggression and physically butted himself up against the landowner. The landowner fired a warning shot into the ground which the trespasser answered by grabbing at the gun. The landowner managed to step back retaining the weapon after which the trespasser once more moved to take the weapon it was only when when the trespasser tried for the seconded time to take the weapon from the landowner that the landowner fired the fatal shots. Self-defenses and within the castle doctrine
What does Texas castle doctrine say when a guy has your woman or your child in his castle?
Completely agree. Read was now in we facto possession of the home. Get between a man and his home... Not smart.
No one was in imminent danger and the police should have been called.
Not according to the author of the article........
If you try to grab a cops gun and then advance on him he will shoot you. It would be a legal shoot.
Saying words to the effect of “ you’d better use it, or I’ll take it away and use it on you.”
It would take some convincing to get me to vote for conviction.
