[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1082039, member: 19930"] [color=#FF0000]......the actor's occupied habitation, vehicle, or place of business or employment;........[/color] Wondering if "occupied" is applied to only habitation or is it to include vehicle and place of business and employment. It wouldn't make sense to say you can protect your car, business or employment when outside them but in order to protect your home you would have to be inside. I would expect this means you can protect yourself while inside your car but if you are outside the car and find someone breaking into your car, you would be on iffy ground shooting the perp dead. Given the self professed trigger happy bunch we all seem to claim we are, it might be important to know exactly what that law means if you are in Texas. Texas law would not supercede federal law so it would be possible even if unlikely to be indicted and tried on federal charges. On the other hand I would imagine someone could find a way to file civil lawsuit outside Texas regardless of Texas state law. :) Everybody just keep this in mind while you lovingly stroke your finger across the trigger of your favorite sidearm while you watch the neighbor's punk kid siphon gas out of your tank.
