Any Legal experts............

The “Stand Your Ground” and castle doctrine laws in Texas would apply to both in your home and vehicle. Depending on the strength of the facts and evidence, you could use necessary force, including deadly force. There are exceptions though so don’t just automatically open fire on someone just because they entered your vehicle by mistake.

Exactly and like I said I didn’t feel threatened and I don’t relish the thought of taking someone’s life unless it was just a dire situation. If that trans would have pulled a knife and demanded money it would be a different story but he was very apologetic and embarrassed and jumped out as fast as he jumped in.can’t believe the other “experts “ posting don’t see it that way.

If you don’t have some thick skin or a sense of humor on this board or life in general you’re probably at the wrong place.

Ok. My thought was for the general audience while I was drinking a beer. It means nothing. Why so touchy?
