Only 1) to stop a fleeing felon, 2) to stop someone from causing bodily injury or 3) if they're on your property after dark - if they're in your house, you can shoot them at any time, but just plain old trespassers can only be shot after dark.

Generally, you cannot shoot in the daytime to *prevent* someone from committing a crime against someone else's business property. Under "State Of Emergency", that rule is suspended, along with the nighttime restrictions on trespassers.


So has a "State of Emergency" been declared yet?

Yes, but it doesn't take effect until Rita touches land or her bands start trashing things.

Someone should put up a nice sign with this text and something like an open season hunting sign.

That ought to cool down any looting tendencies.
