I'm thinkin' maybe we should try this again? . . . . and you kids should behave yourselves

sedge, depends on which state you are in. Some states do not restrict you to the inside of your dwelling and allow it if you are protecting your property or your family. Not saying it would be easy to defend in court during a personal lawsuit, just that it would not be an infraction against the law.

We can shoot in our yard or even our neighbors yard for that matter. Was a guy not too long ago shot 3 teenagers burglarizing his neighbors house while said neighbor was on vacation, in neighbors front yard on their way out. All dead, no charges filed! Maybe leave the gun with your neighbor on the next vacation.
Moral to story "If you wanna see another day in Texas stay out of other peoples houses!"

I was under the impression that in Texas you are allowed to shoot someone for leaning against your truck.

Pretty much and there's still a law on the state books making it a crime to flip someone off. You have to be polite whilst blowing their brains out.

But with that logic in mind you could flip them off too. Dead people can't file charges.

Hence why I said general black letter common law rule used on the Multi State Bar Exam. Blech. Memories.

Of couse you can use lethal for to protect persons. I've never heard it allowed to protect property but I do not know the laws of all states. Just California.

Stand your ground law, if you are in a place you are lawfully allowed to be in and feel your life is in danger you can shoot to kill. Florida and many other states are very liberal with this, so don't come to Mickey land and threaten Minnie or she can pop a cap in yer @$$.

Catching your spouse in the act of infidelity can be a defense against murder thus reducing the crime to manslaughter. The requisite mens rea for murder may not exist.
