Doing something like this in Texas and shooting, say for example, the paperboy, would land your ass in prison. |
I'm not talking about that case. I'm talking about the letter of the law that states that criminal mischief is an offense worthy of lethal force by a property owner. So no, a paperboy cannot be legally shot, but if you stiffed him on his collection, and he came back that night, tried to TP your house, and you shot him then, that would be perfectly fine under this far too vague law.
