Armed robbery is not a capital crime in any jurisdiction. The guy is in front of you with a weapon demanding money...cap him on the spot in the front.

Guy is running away? You better tackle him because it's not self defense anymore.

You are all assuming he intended to hit him in the head. Probably just tried to "wing him" to make him drop the money....

The guy was so distraught from being robbed that he was shaking and accidentally gripped the gun too tight and it inadvertently discharged. The fact that the robber was hit in the head was just pure bad luck.


He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.

TEXAS is the place to live according to Texas penal code 9.42 you can shoot their ass half mile away in back of their head if you can hit them and you can do it if it your neighbors property also.

I have not had a renewal course in a few years, but IIRC, in TX that could have been a bad shooting too.

IIRC you can shoot that guy as he goes away, but you can't kill him, you can only injure him.

Thinking the terms are something like lethal and non lethal force and their differences.

Now if it was at night, its all totally legal basically.

I could be mistaken though.

Damn shame you can't kill someone after the fact though... I mean it was THEY that engaged, and you simply had to pick your time when it was safe to kill them in return, but no... can't do that....
How could the thug be assured of not being killed? Simple as hell, don't rob anyone. Pretty simple to me.

In Montague co. Texas it would be a NO BILL then they would send you to a Clint Smith type school to teach you to draw faster.

I think the "at night" deal is valid in rural areas only.I don't believe "rural areas" is defined anymore than the phrase.

82 Year Old Shoots At Attacker

82-year-old fights off attacker

March 15, 2010
SIERRA VISTA - An 82-year-old woman takes matters into her own hands after she's attacked in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Sierra Vista.

Police said the suspect Stephen Prickett beat the woman with her own cane until she grabbed her gun from her purse and started firing.

After a few days in the hospital, she's out and told News 4 all about it.

She said she was just walking to her car with some groceries when she was approached by the suspect. She said, "In a very mild voice he said, 'this is your day. You are too old to be alive anyway.'"

Moments later she said he grabbed her cane and started beating her and she's got the bruises to prove it. She said, "I got boo boos where I didn't know I had a place to put boo boos."

She eventually went for the gun in her purse and opened fire. She didn't hit him but said it still saved her life. She said, "In the long run I think it saved me because if I hadn't shot the thing no one would have known there was anything wrong and come running."

Wal-Mart employees came to her rescue and police weren't far behind.

Police said the victim did absolutely everything right. As for the suspect, they said he made a big mistake. Tracy Grady with the Sierra Vista Police Department said, "He picked the wrong woman. She was the wrong target."

And the self proclaimed "stubborn, old broad" said you can say that again. She said, "If I go naturally or to a sickness or something, fine. I'm ready to go, but I'm not ready to let some idiot like that take me out."

The victim said owning a gun isn't for everyone but added with the proper training it's a good idea particularly for elderly people like her that are becoming victim's more and more often.

( a good friend TRAINED this neat old Gal, and got her all lined out for CCW, ....GTC)

The suspect was arrested shortly after the attack. He's facing multiple charges including attempted murder.

Like I said read the Texas penal codes 9.41 thru 9.44 . If you don't believe that read about the Joe Horn shooting incident in Pasadena Tx a couple of years ago.He killed two guys who burgularized his neighbors house while he was on the phone with the police and was nobilled end of the story.

They won't believe it loyburkes. I've tried to explain how the law is written in Texas to those from other areas many times....sometimes with a copy of the Penal Code in hand. No one will believe that we have the rights we do even when they read it with their own eyes.


Damn I love being from Texas!

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
