Here comes my red state side:
I love this law. In TX we can use deadly force to defend our property and Got darnit I like it!
I live in DC now where cars are stolen at a higher rate than anywhere else in the nation (maybe we're second to Prince George's County, but I digress) and believe me at this point we need something! One guy in MD got arrested because he shot a guy the THIRD time someone tried to steal his car from his driveway- I don't blame him one bit- he paid for that car and likely got sick of some hoodlum stealing it.
Ok- I'm a democrat again (except I do claim myself to be a TX resident to avoid state income tax
).
