Article said he had one, but even if he didn't have one, he would still be legal as long as he was heading to his car.

If what I heard this morning is true, the old man might be in for a rough time.  On the news someone said he shot the robber in his car while attempting to drive away and not in the parking lot during the assault.  Don't know if that's a fact or not or how much difference it will make.

It doesn't matter if he shot him while he was fleeing.  All the victim has to have is a reasonable belief that he won't get his property back. In Texas property right are held in high regards. Shoot him in the front or shot him in the back, both work here.

Good for the old guy. Hope his wife is ok. Old folks tend to break stuff pretty easy when they fall down, not to mention being knocked down in a violent scuffle.

While it technically might be stretching the law if he shot him while fleeing in the car, there's no way hes getting charged.

1% chance at best.  A bad guy robbed elderly people at night and got shot.  Being in TX, it's case closed.

Read 2B in the actual law above. It's not stretching anything.

Should be referred to an awards  committee.

From the story; "The man has a vaild concealed handgun licence".


So.....it's not okay to DRT some dirtball if you don't have a "licence" to do so?  

And why is that I wonder?  Some Animals are more equal than others?

standard. i think LEO shooting automatically go to a Grand Jury.
he'll be "no billed" meaning that the GJ finds no reason to charge.
the nice thing is that after a no-bill, the chances of the perp's family filing a civil suit goes to just about Zero.

The great thing about Texas gun laws is obviously not the freedom of carry.


It is the freedom to use in defense of life, property, chattel and not just your own.


While the freedom/ease of carry issue needs to be fixed Texas does have it right where it counts the most.

Carrying a gun means a lot more when you can actually use it for its intended purpose without being prosecuted.





Excellent shoot.

the only way that story could be improved was if the headline was "armed robber gut shot and then dies after days and days of agony after failed robbery attempt"

That costs money.  Society will take him to a hospital and spend large sums of money attempting to save his life.  Why, I have no idea.  After that, they run them through the "justice system" and spend even more money on them.  

This would be better:
Armed robber slowly bleeds out in parking lot while crowd watches.  Who cares if it's painful, as long as it's permanent.
