I don't know what the law is in Texas, but in Louisiana if you are apparently being car-jacked you can shoot the guy dead and walk away scotch-free. And I like it like that. I believe you have the right to protect your property. And I guaruntee you we have less car-jackings this way. So don't go breaking people's windows.

Sure I feel sorry for the little girl, but not just because her dad got shot, but because she had such a foolish father.

If you don't hurt other people, you won't get hurt. And if someone does try to hurt you, then you are free to defend yourself. When you take away someone's right to defend themselves, people lose respect for eachother. Think about it, if you declaw a cat you're not gonna respect him as much as before (in a physical sense.)
