I reject this line of thinking.
You shouldn't be asking the crime victim whether it's worth it to kill someone over some property.
You should be asking the criminal whether it's worth it to die for some property. I agree with that line of thinking. However; I'd read all the large and small print in the state's justifiable homicide laws first, before I did something that might cost me a few years in the big house.
Enough of this idle chit-chat. This ain't no retirement home.

Lethal force is legal in Texas in protection of one's property is my understanding.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

When I received my LTC after Sutherland Springs, our instructor vehemently repeated the discussion about actually pulling the trigger and repercussions you will face if you, in fact, do so. It just shouldnt be that way. Makes the good guy seem like the bad guy in trying to protect his and the familys lives and property......

I am pretty sure if you shot someone taking a package from your doorstep you are going to prison.

No way I take a life for stealing. only way I shoot is if my life is in eminent danger.

And, If you just beat the [censored] out of the thieve, you would probably face harsher penalties than if you shot him dead.

I get a notification from Ring everyday about a package stolen.
Think a mace bomb would be easy enough to rig? I feel like a box of duece ain't gonna do it.

The next time the wife wants to have a garage sale. I think I'll just pack it all up in Amazon boxes and let the porch pirates haul it off for free....

people act like they are living in the wild west. There is a reason you don't kill people for misdemeanor crimes. What if its the neighbors dumb kid? what if its your dumb kid stealing beer from someone's garage frig?

![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2018/12/full-105650-240134-rod.jpg) USPS makes sure porch pirates don't bother in my neighborhood. This is how my new rod got delivered today.
