I never said anything about shooting a guy fleeing..

If I walk out and see someone in my truck and I feel threated ..

Shoot 1st ask later....

dead men tell no tales...and cant sue you

The "stand your ground" states (TX & LA) say you can stand your ground, you don't have to run away You can stay on your front porch and drop the scum

Louisiana allows the use of deadly force to prevent a car-jacking.

So you see, it all depends on the state. In general, though, you cannot use deadly force unless you feel you life is in danger. Or somebody else's life. Breaking in does not meet this requirement, not unless there is a reasonable danger to life.

A cautionary word: Never, never, never fire a warning shot into the air. A slick prosecutor will ask "If you felt your life was in immediate peril, why were you shooting into the air"?

I own guns, and love them. But that's the kind of statement the the gun opponents LOVE to see...and it proves their point. :(

What Point???? Its a right for someone to come steal????? with zero worries??

No you're wrong.

He is right...your messing with a force greater than us at this point in time...liberal media is very very powerful...

I do know that on one of the other break-ins the shooter had his prescription of aderal(sp) stolen. These guys probably thought it was an easy score on some pills and decided to try again. Don't think those catholic school kids aren't like that, cause where you think the public school kids used to buy their drugs from! From the story I heard Seth heard the people in his truck and walked outside to see. Saw them and went get his gun when the driver drove around to pick up the two breaking in, he went after them. Like I said, it's what I heard so take it with a grain of salt. It sounds a lot more probable than kids looking to score a few suds, or some random crazy person standing in the road at 2 in the morning shooting at random vehicles.

OK I see you dont get the point, the gun control freaks feed on people like you. Nothing I, are anyone else here say, will get you to understand. Peirs Morgan would have a field day with you. :)

You shoot, be prepared to defend yourself until your not proven at fault....a gun is used in the last OPTION if needed and your lifes on the line...not to just shoot people to warn them, i live guns and guns dont kill people, people kill other people jmo...good luck shooting someone with no questions asked...

This is a screen shot from one of the kids dad. His son is the one who got shot in the neck and is still alive. Attachment 46166

I'd love to believe tht but that is a statement from a blind dad who isn't paying attention to what his kid is really doing. You think for one second that dude shot 3 times and hit 3 kids when they were just slowing down to drop a boy off. I don't believe that for a second. That's what his son told him and of course his kid "does no wrong". Gimme a break

Yep....I was wrong. LA and TX had the same law back in the day. It changed. Not sure when

I will say that I have to agree. I will not speculate on what happened that night, because as many have said, we will not know until all the details come out. But this guy is blinded by his kid being hurt. I just can't believe that this guy managed to hit 3 kids, killing 1, with a handgun when they were in a moving vehicle.

But I guess crazier things have happened. Only time will tell. But i would definitely say the father is blinded, because he was not in the vehicle or on that street when all this happened.

And on the note of the 1st degree murder charge--correct me if I'm wrong, but 1st degree is premeditated, right? So this guy had the intention of killing someone on his street at 2 AM?

Where are the fish biting in Big Lake?

Still a bunch of holes in the dads story too. Looks like another he said she said...

I feel the family's have blinders on.

sounds to me like more info to be used in court...welcome to the digital age!

W a car jacking is one thing............you are IN THE CAR and someone comes to TAKE THE CAR........

in your words "if I WALK OUT" and see someone in my car I fell threatened...........
No little big man, if you walk out and have a gun and said thieve is un armed HE feels threatened.........

I don't expect you to understand, and when you will tossing some dudes salad in prison, he really will not car either..........

as always, you are comparing apples to oranges.

I understand the desire to protect what is yours
I understand the hatred for thieves
YOU need to understand that you are not an attorney.
Lawyers will eat your lunch, period end of story.
Then, if by chance, by some sort of mircale you get an OJ verdict, you WILL BE SUED civally, and that radio of pistol you shot someone over is going to cost you the overwhelming investment account you proclaim to have.........

but he, some of us have to learn lessons the hard way.........
Go shooter GEAUX!
