Brew is 100% correct. End result is, if you shoot someone, (unless there was an obvious iminate threat to yourself or others) you are going to jail and going to be charged with Homicide.  It's up to a Judge/Jury to decide whether you were justified or not.  Seen it a few times here.  Guy sits in jail for a year or longer going back and forth to court before being acquited and released.  Long time to be away from your family.

Ok, I was scared for my life when he was breaking into my truck! so I killed the some@#$%h!  Remember if your in that situation, You were scared for your life.

See, this kind of crap is what gets under my skin.  Chances are your not going to shoot some arse for breaking into your truck, maybe pull a shotgun and scare the piss out of him and hold him hostage until the cops come.  But just the same, this attitude is why so many anti-gun activist are out there trying to take away our rights.  Because people make these stupid choices then try and defend themeselves with an this type of attitude.  This may work in some cases, depending on the judge, jury and defense lawyer but like someone else said...do you really want to take that chance and spend all that time away from your family, racking up all those legal bills and lose your job.. over what?  Your truck?? Thats why you have insurance, I would hope. 
My truck has been broken into twice in the past two years, the first nothing taken the thief was scared off by the alarm.  The second time, my fault I left the truck unlocked.  They got two GPS units and a small amount of cash.  Now I have security cameras, four of them watching the front of my house. Oh yea, got my GPS unit back(one at least) *censored* tried to sell it at a local pawn shop after it was reported stolen.  They got the *censored* on video trying to pawn it.  That was my justice.

I was just saying if you had to shoot somebody you'd better say that you were scared for your life.  I dought I would kill someone for breaking into my truck, but you can bet I would be armed when I walk up on them and if they gave me a reason- like threaten me in anyway- yes I might just put them in the ground.  And I don't care what the anti's think about how I would protect my valuable's, no matter what you do or how you react they will still want you to lose your gun rights.  And that's not going to happen.

One more good reason to leave an airsoft toy gun laying on the front seat of your truck....     
 
Get out of jail free card...

I think the bottom line here is don't be stupid. You don't shoot at anyone unless your life is actually in danger. This isn't the old west. If you do then you are no smarter than the idiot that decided to break into the truck. We want to keep our right to own and bear arms, use your heads.

You remember that hand gun that you bought at the yard sale several years ago and decided you didn't really need it after all and it has been sitting in your safe for the last 5 years.  Makes a good drop gun doesn't it?
When he drew his gun I reacted faster....

am I missing something here??? when did we become a society of people committing felonious, life altering crimes(manslaughter/murder) for someone-meth head or not-breaking into a truck??? what the hell are you thinking??  Hey  I've got a great idea....why don't i leave a written account of how i'm gonna kill someone who's committing a property crime against me and plant evidence to make my actions justified?!!?  Do you not think that law enforcement and WDFW monitor this site and God forbid if something similar to this ever happened to you it could be used against you in a court of law?!!?  I'm no victim's advocate but just realize everything you type out on this site may be an admission of guilt.  I feel your pain as far as having crimes committed against you but please think before you respond

I personaly am not going to put myself in a situation where I have to live with myself everyday knowing I took someones life for something as petty as a vehicle prowl or stealing a frickn block of salt.

Over the weekend tweekers stole the stereo out of my neighbor's jeep.  I've seen the padlock on my shed angled up like someone was trying to pick it.  Haven't put my trail cam out anywhere, so I think I'll put it out to see who's snooping around at night.  Might catch some 2-legged varmints!

[blindpig]

Come on, he stole 8 bucks worth of salt.  Gotta be heavy, don't see a pack on him.  Sucky
