I know a person that had his car taken from a base in CA, they drove through a fence. They found the car but it was messed up and insurance totaled it.

Some of the bear sprays will go 30 feet. If you hear something outside it could be a bear. The use of bear spray is not a deadly force issue, just the fear of harm. Just watch out for the wind.

A shovel makes a good companion to a Glock 😉 :R

'It isn't worth it to defend' arguments are what bad guys are counting on from property owners.

Put more of them in the ground and that will revert back to 'That isn't worth my life to steal'

Only then do we stand a chance at living in relative security.

all answers are good but it doesn,t stop theft of your stuff my buddy had his stinky slinky taken out of his bumper would use the glock to hold them until the cops got there rock salt sounds good and easy to load h,mmm

Not everyone lives in fear. I, for one, do not.

Ours is written the same way, however, it only protects you from civil suit if the shooting occurs in your residence, place of business, or automobile, and it has to be a good shoot, that being a situation where the use of lethal force is warranted, and again, shooting at a fleeing suspect doesn't cover that. According to the law, if he's getting away with your property you can shoot, but there are still some legal proceedings to deal with and the question still remains… How much is that microwave really worth?

I belong to an organization called Texas Law Shield, that covers all of your expenses up to and including trial should you have to use deadly force. It's only $150 a year and that's cheap insurance. These things are piping up all over the country in states where concealed or open carry is legal. If you carry it's certainly cheap insurance and worth looking into.

Texas has the same law. It's called the Castle Doctrine, but a few shots in the air will get you arrested here and probably every other state as well for negligent discharge, reckless endangerment or in the event that round comes down and kills someone and it's traced back to you, the charge jumps up to negligent homicide or manslaughter. It's just not a very smart thing to do. You can use deadly force to defend yourself or others if you think that you or someone is in iminent danger, but firing shots in the air to scare someone or even shooting at a fleeing vehicle doesn't qualify. You can legally shoot someone here to protect your property, but that shot will run into 10s of thousands of $$$, even if the grand jury no-bills you, so you really need to ask yourself how much that power cord or microwave is really worth.

Exactly. Firing shots in the air (and not for the center of mass) means one isn't in fear of their life (which can open BIG lawsuits on the civil front), as well as criminal charges of discharging a firearm in a populated area... of course, if the rounds flying in the air hit someone, that's more criminal/civil stuff. I'm not the best with a firearm, but I know enough that if I'm not in mortal danger, letting the meth-head get away with some******is a lot less of a loss than having to deal with their next of kin's lawsuits, and their tweaker buddies out for revenge. Plus, the meth-heads are likely armed, perhaps well-armed (the meth-heads I've encountered are constantly paranoid.)

When I was in high school in the 1960's, I worked in a gas station. The man that owned the "local" half mile dirt track speedway used to have the same problem even then. During the winter months when the place was vacant/deserted, the thieves would come in and steal the electrical wiring that ran to all the lights. This ain't nothing new, that's for sure.

NC just passed a right to protect law. You have the right to protect yourself with deadly force in your home, car, and place of work. Doesn't matter if they were armed or not as long as you felt your life was in danger. My dad is the Senator that proposed the law.
Not worth killing someone over, but a few shots in the air from your glock and they would leave an easy trail for you to follow;)

North of where I live, they were stealing the copper lines the contractors laid before the slab could be poured. Same with commercial construction jobs.. Pretty sad.
