I think Joe Horns case was unique. He was protecting his neighbors property, not his own.

Castle doctrine only applies to the duty to retreat. You may not like what the guy from Oklahoma said but he is right. That is the basic legal guideline. You are not judge jury and executioner as much as I think it should be allowed. Because before in addition to what said about intent, means, and action they would sat you could have retreated to avoid deadly force. The castle doctrine says you have no duty to retreat in your home. It is basic 1L stuff. If you do not know what 1L is then do even think about arguing any legal matter. The whole thing in Texas is a reasonable person would have been in fear for their life and that is a matter for a jury to decide! Do you know what a criminal defense lawyer would charge to defend you? So even if you do not get convicted you will be broke and in debt. So if the D.A. would not shoot you better not shoot!

Yes, but the castle law protects your neighbors property too. If I asked you to keep an eye on my dogs while I was gone and you saw someone stealing one out of my yard you would be within the castle law to shoot them.

My point was though that when it's just property that's involved that you'll have a harder time proving your need for deadly force than when you are physically threatened. If you're going to go that route you should be prepared financially.

aint it a shame that we have to worry about the legalities of protecting ourselves and what we've worked for ? whats "right" and whats "legal" often dont have anything to do with each other.

 it's my opinion that i'm not the one who should wonder if a dog, saddle, fishin pole, etc. is worth a life... that is a question the thief better ask himself

Dub, the "duty to retreat" portion was removed 2 or 3 years ago, as it pertains to the Castles Doctrine.
If in your home, car, etc. you don't, WON'T, for many of us, have to show retreat.
I'll support this with facts when I get to my PC in the morning.

When I got my CHL the instructor ( was joking ) but he told me the guy seid he was going to kill me and I believed him!!
but as far as some one loading dogs and I was armed call the cops and shoot a tire or two it will take them a while to change it and there on your property so all is fair game I dont care if there a theif or not it would be dificult to live with takeing a persons life that did not try to take mine of someone elses

Just wanted to say it again, since Fl removed the "must retreat" from it self defense laws, i hear all the time "ill just shoot them".  YOU CAN ONLY TAKE A LIFE IF YOURS IS IN IMMINATE DANGER.  What you guys need to "memorize" is "SIR I THOUGHT I WAS IN IMMINATE DANGER OF DEATH OR GREAT BODILY HARM!!!!"  not, that SOB was stealing my dogs.  No state in this country (even texas) sorry, is going to allow you to kill a person for a dog, tv, truck rims etc.  and i wouldnt want to be the one who ever tries it out over stuff in the yard.

That is what I was saying. No duty to retreat. But there must be a threat to life for self defense as any "reasonable person" would see it. If you believe lasers were going to shoot out of his eyes, not reasonable. But any little pansy can sit in a courtroom and say you could have retreated. That was just too stupid. So they removed the duty to retreat. But shooting a thief is limited and a fuzzy line I would stay away from.

But if they get lost in the woods

How bout the guy that puts the cuffs on you??  id ask them first, we have to be as up to speed if not more than lawyers,  They get to look for case law for loop holes not the black and white of it.  And if it does happen i GUARANTEE those responding WILL be pointing guns at you.  And god forbid its a jumpy rookie

In the woods no I would not shoot them but would pepper their vehicle low or hi to miss the dogs but at my home the only way they would leave is in a body bag
