We have a very different view of aggressive self-derfense in Texas. No Texas jury would convict this shooter because Texans want the rats in our society to be exterminated by the cheapest method available.
We have too many criminals and not enough shooters, so we encourage more shooters to get training.
Probably not. But it would still cost the shooter a pretty penny to properly defend himself in court. It's a shame we don't have loser-pays laws like some other countries do, but that's another story.
After dark, it doesn't even have to be about self defense. It can be about protecting property.
