I don't think anyone on this chatboard, or in the entire state of Texas believes it would be REASONABLE to shoot an 8 yr old kid in the back for stealing an apple.
That example comes nowhere near the situation Mr Horn dealt with....
And jthig, regarding your post #84.... Texas Penal Code 9.42 does not mention the crime taking place "on your property." It reads "B. to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property". The phrase "the property" does not mean "your property".
