“Don’t mess with Texans.”
Beat me to it.
This is illegal amnesty I can live with.
1) Horn was on his own property when he killed the two perps;
2) The perps were on Horn's property too.
I.e., it doesn't matter why Horn went out there with a shotgun. When he killed the perps, he was defending his OWN property from felonious intruders.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Joe shot these guys in the back with a shotgun and got by with it.

I view my person as my castle in this case. I’m just saying in my mind the space I occupy at any given time is legally occupied as long as I’m not breaking the law. What the law says about this I am not sure. But better to be tried than buried so to speak.
What about that rancher that lost his ranch to the illegal perps in much the same situation, except that they unfortunately happen to have survived and then sued? Can he sue for recovery? I don’t remember the details, if anyone does, please share.

Like yeah, it’s novel, never been done before........!!
The libs just had to stick that word in there. I live in Texas and I have a gun and I’m a woman.
I will use it if necessary.
Reference bump! ;-)
I totally DISAGREE with decision! It is horribly wrong.
I can't believe our society has come to this.
This person who killed his neighbor's burglars had no right. He should have gotten his own burglars to kill. He should be made to pay triple damages and provide his neighbor 6 burglars to kill.
This is just plain wrong. Get you own damn burglars to kill and leave mine alone...
Good!
I'll never forget the time I was at work and a couple of teens jumped the wall into our very small condo yard, 25 years ago...wifey called the Monrovia PD, and the two officers asked if we were home-armed; not having lived there long, she replied "no"....both told her to get weapons, learn how to use 'em, and suggested - in the event of a deadly showdown - to shoot/kill and simply tell the police that you were verbally threatened....."automatic case dismissal".
If burglars or attackers aren't "around" to dispute you, any DA will accept your word that you were threatened, and "in fear".
I graduated from Pasadena (TX) High School in 1955 — and haven’t been back since. My classmates tell me that it is now totally “Hispanicized” and is, essentially, unrecognizable as the place where we grew up...
Grand Jury nullification.

I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could.
