Looks like Texas has the best. Love that word *attempting*. :)
States like Texas allow citizens protecting their homes, car, or place of business or employment to use force including lethal force when an intruder has unlawfully entered or is attempting to enter using force; is attempting to remove someone from the home, car, or workplace by force; or is attempting to commit a crime such as rape, murder, or robbery. An attempt to retreat is not required before a citizen is justified in using force against the invasive party in Texas.

I have no idea how credible or good the source is.
What would be a misdemeanor during daylight hours becomes cause to use deadly force after dark.
I don't know of any other state that does that.

This was broad daylight.
Its True...in fact our State Constitution always contained this language. The Castle Laws and stand your ground were added because liberal jackasses need help reading long documents.
