I heard it depends from state to state. Also Texas is cool cause you can shoot any tresspasers. In comparison, in California it sucks cause you cant shoot him if he's not a threat to you or you family even if he is on your property. Meaning if he robs you and you find him and he starts running, you cant legally shoot the beep out of him to stop him from going away with your belongings.
Correct me if i am wrong. I'm only talking from what i read.

P.S. If you own one, have you ever been in a situation of using it ?
I don't know mate. I guess we have a different perspective. My stuff is just that.... stuff. I can always get new stuff. If he's not threatening me or my family or friends, he can have my shit and I'll go after him through legal channels. Doesn't mean I'll just hand it over voluntarily, he'll have to have a weapon and threaten me with it.

So let's think about this. Fukker rips me off. Takes $1,000 cash, maybe some jewelery, maybe some other shit. I'm going to pull my gun and shoot him? By not doing so, worse case scenerio is Im out the $1,000 and maybe some jewelery. If I shoot the fukker, worst case scenerio is I'll lose my freedom and go to jail. Even if I don't go to jail, I STILL am tied up in the court system, going to trial, whatever.

Now, if he enteres my house, and assumes a threatening posture, all bets are off. I will exercise my 4th amendment rights with a bullet through his brainless head.
