Retreat how? Shooting at the intruder? Turning one’s back would be useless and deadly.

Ah, a sure sign that the disease of liberalism is indeed in the fine state. Texas, get to it. Liberals are to scorned, chased, tarred & feathered, chased out, and if required, offed.

Stat.

Acreage and a backhoe makes Austin's run away bill moot.

"...just trying to stop people from being so quick to shoot criminals on their property..."

Maybe she should try to stop people from stealing other people's property.

I think the law says that you retreat until you are six feet under

all the homeowners will have to claim is that the person had a gun on them and retreat was impossible even though the homeowner ‘sincerely tried’ to retreat

Why is it that Democrats are always more concerned about the welfare of criminals than lawabiding citizens? Is it because the want to protect a kindred spirit who would be a Democrat brown shirt if asked?

Even Massachusetts has changed the "castle doctrine" so fleeing is not a first requirement.

In Texas, the bill should fail miserably.

Burglars should be required to retreat when encountering a resident. If they don’t and they survive they should receive additional jail time.

Yesterday on local Austin talk radio, the brain dead libs and their call in was insane. I think that Austin is truly lost.
