>I'm just saying you aren't automatically given a free ride just because the shooting victim was in your home.
It's evident that you're saying that, but it's also evident that you're wrong. |

A texas senator speaks of supporting the "Castle Doctrine" bill,

Somebody breaks into my home. I don't have to guess or wonder if he has a knife or a gun, or whatever. |

I didn't find an actual "case" to support my stance, but I also couldn't find one to support yours. I every single case I found where charges were dropped or never filed were when the perp in fact had a weapon or had attacked someone. However, I DID find some interesting information on the "shoot first" bill which is what you are REALLY referring to (don't worry, I didn't know it either). The "right" to shoot someone in your home regardless of the perceived intention of the intruder. http://www.licensetomurder.com/main.php This website, last updated 4/30/07 shows that many states, including Louisiana and Texas, in fact DO NOT have shoot first laws. I'm sure if you're really interested, they'll have the specific data you are looking for. Quote:

Here is the URL to the act, SIGNED by the Governor HB89 - 2006 Regular Session (Act 141) attached is a PDF of that document. This is the bill that the "Anti-gun" folks are calling "Shoot first" and my take on the bill, is if someone breaks into my house... I'm not gonna wait to SEE if they have a gun or knife or whatever. |

If you point a gun at someone, tell them to freeze and they continue advancing towards you, then you have reason to fear for your safety. |

P.S. The little ankle biters, especially the female, don't like strangers in the house either. She can be quite vicious when approached!!!!!!!!!!

You're catching on...it's a carefully planned alarm system with a carefully planned enemy attack plan.
