this happened a few weeks ago i believe...the guy fires his .50 cal into the ground as a warning shot and apprehends the suspect. not illegal...in fact, he's a hero...

I guess I'll have to read into it. Had someone banging on our doors and windows, then they started flashing lights in the windows. They went to the back yard and did the same ****.
Asked a lawyer friend about it and he said it would not end well for me if I had shot him.

I'm a Texas Peace Officer n up to my knowledge u can shoot a person when the actor(intruder) is in YOUR property n the actor makes u feel your life n the lives of others (ex: family) is in danger, or if its nighttime n the actor is in YOUR property n is stealing YOUR property. Another thing u don't shoot to kill lol u shoot to control the situation (good luck if u say "I shot to kill the actor" in court lol), as far as that guy, yes he was trying to do a good deed km stopping the burglar but he should've NEVER fired his weapon, here in Texas is called Deadly Conduct. In my opinion the best thing to do in this situation is call the police n give as best description of the burglar as possible nothing more nothing less; now if its YOUR property that is bro.g burglarized, I can't tell u to shoot someone but I can tell u do what u have to do to protect your property, family, n yourself. Any questions feel free to ask
Of course you don't say you shot to kill, the death was just the bi-product of him being shot. I was only trying to disable him.

Lol - some of you kids post the darnedest things
(1) retardedshitbird - you have a "lawyer friend" !?!? Something tells me you really meant to say "one of your uneducated classmates that just so happened to read a cool Facebook post about guns and stuff"
(2) and to the guy that had another POS cop (actually, one cop and his paper pushing constable idiot brother) tell him to "shoot the guy and then move his nasty carcass into your own home before the cop gets there" is the the STUPIDEST **** I have ever seen or heard...take those idiots advice - i'll write you in prison
I'm gonna keep reading this hilarious thread for a couple days - fairly entertaining
