That's a pretty broad statute. Interesting. Where as I have no problem with using deadly force in self-defense, I don't think I'd pop someone if they were making away with my lawn mower.
I'm pretty much out in the sticks, so the chances girl gangs will come a'piliging are low.
Needless to say, we don't generally have kids pulling this sort of stupid prank in Texas. Especially not when it's completely possible that there's a guy set up in his attic with a completely legal machine gun waiting for someone to come back and try to vandalize his property again (incident involving gangbangers in the DFW area - they TP'd the guy's house, and pulled a driveby rock throwing. He set up with his legal FA M-16, and when they came over the back wall he rocked their world.)
