Good guy wins for now, but he shot perps as they were fleeing his property. Brass in the yard and entry wounds in perps' backs don't help the homeowner's case in court. Hope he has a sympathetic jury.
Not to mention he chased them out into the street still firing. Out retard AG would want him jailed for life."prompting the homeowner to reach for his fully loaded AK-47 assault rifle and begin shooting in self-defense"
If this was Mass it would have read "prompting the homeowner to kindly ask that the perps don't shoot him while he goes to his basement to get his AK-47 out of his safe so that he may retreat and begin cowering in place while being robbed/beaten/shot/killed.......
This was in Texas. Different rules of engagement and different motivation on the part of the DA.Good guy wins for now, but he shot perps as they were fleeing his property. Brass in the yard and entry wounds in perps' backs don't help the homeowner's case in court. Hope he has a sympathetic jury.
Oh hell, I agree. My wife was born in Corpus Christi. We went there on vacation a couple of years ago. We walked through a mall and right next to a kids arcade was a well-stocked gun shop with a full selection of firearms and accessories, including Class 3, that would make our liberal Massachusetts lawmakers stain their undies. God bless Texas!This was in Texas. Different rules of engagement and different motivation on the part of the DA.
Not a good story but entertaining. It's a sign that says easy target.

I am not a lawyer, that’s for sure.If it was indeed a 'shootout', he's fine. He he was just shooting them as they ran, he might be in trouble.
But if someone is shooting at me and when I return fire, that someone turns and runs, I’m going to keep shooting. Who’s to say they won’t turn right back around if I stop shooting. They may be just repositioning themselves to begin firing at me again.
My opinion is that once you’ve made your position clear, that you want to kill me, that I need to end the threat. Not a week later, that hour.
Not an attorney. And this may get me in trouble. But, if someone has announced their intention to kill me, then I have to kill them first, or die trying.
The jury that convicts you of murder because you shot someone in the back?... if someone is shooting at me and when I return fire, that someone turns and runs, I’m going to keep shooting. Who’s to say they won’t turn right back around if I stop shooting

I like that your message didn't really change from a year ago when you first replied to this thread Texas is definitely a whole different world from MA when it comes to such scenarios.This was in TX not MA.
