I will bet good money that you have heard the advice “If you shoot an intruder on the porch, the first thing you do is drag him inside”. I have yet to meet someone who hasn’t heard this gem from an uncle, grandfather or cousin twice-removed. The person giving the advice often seeks to imbue it with authority by swearing that it was a police officer, judge or attorney who shared this sage wisdom with them.

Welcome to FR
You forgot the “throw down piece”.
This is the very thing a county sheriff told me to do.
What happened to the “shoot shovel and shut up” advice?
If it is not a righteous shoot, don't do it. If it is, do it sufficiently. No apologies.
Forensics alone would put you in jail. You can’t shoot someone on the front porch without their figuring it out. If you are threatened by the guy on the porch or front yard use force and stand up for your actions.
That’s different. He’s above the law.
It's what we were told to do in years past, but I think that has changed here since we have some new laws protecting us.
Castle Laws are spreading throughout the country.
Just shoot the SOB and be done with it! ;)
If you move a body and say some bogus crap you’re done.
Then drop your throw down piece. and shoot yourself in the leg twice with it. it’s gotta be twice. Two shots proves he meant to kill you, not just wound you.
;)
I’m gonna have fun with this.
Here in Texas, there shouldn’t be any reason to drag him inside, if you were being threatened.
You had to excerpt your own article?
It’s pretty lame. I would drag them out to the street and claim they were run over. Then go to Wendy’s and find a finger in my chili......
Shoot, Shovel, Shut-up!
It’s called “pimping my blog”.
In Texas, “he needed killin” is still a defense.
