Not a good idea... Warning shots are 100% illegal.

Good to hear, seems like a nice guy.

Who would the right person be, Rambo? This isn't a movie, most people wouldn't do very well in that situation and I do believe any who has never been through that but says they would do well is full of ****. Hell, most Police officers I have read miss the first time they are put in a situation like that. Unless your some one like Leo who has been shooting competitively for a really long time or a pretty veteran police officer/military, I imagine the situation isn't a very easy one to be in especially having your family right there. I think the guy did well given the circumstance. But it does suck he didn't kill all three.

In Texas you can protect your neighbors property if you have an agreement with them. Joe did not and like stated previously he said too much. "I was in fear for my life and stopped the threat" read it and remember it say no more or no less.

I commend this guy. In the circumstances he was put in with all the stress, he had the ability to make a rational decision to get away from his family to draw the fire to him self.

Always a cop around to write a kid a ticket in an F-body but nowhere around when there is real crime.

Thats correct...if ever put into this situation is it important to say as little as possible. "I was in fear of my life and stopped the threat" is exactly along the lines of what should be said...

Also, if Im not mistaken I do believe that in Texas if you kill someone who is in the process of comitting a felony and their family wishes to press civil charges, if you win the case you are entitled to recover all out of pocket expenses dealing with the suit. (IE: attorney fees, lost time at work, etc)

Winning is entirely different than collecting. You'll spend $20,000 in legal costs. Try and recover that from a crackhead welfare family, living on Obamanomics. You might get $50/month for life.
