If someone commits a shooting, an axing or a knifing and leaves with the weapon, the legal presumption is that he is on his way to commit another murder, and you are allowed to shoot him. It's a very clear exception to the "can't shoot a felon who's leaving" rule. These psychos often have a little list in their head.

Not in Wisconsin. Not in Texas, according to a prior post.

And, given the mindset of both journalists and DA's in almost the entire USofA, noplace else, either.

That "exception" you cite most likely applies only to LEO's, after they've screamed "stop/drop" a few dozen times.

But hey--try it sometime. Let me know how your case turns out.

I'll tell you right now -- if I'm on the jury, he walks.

Did you read #s 47, 52,53 and 54? Read them and get back to me. I seriously doubt that TX, where you may shoot folks on your property after dark, has stricter laws on the books concerning this type of case than FL.
