Why does anyone need an assault weapon?

[Texas42]

Burglery and theft are two different things.

Shooting people for theft is not legal and frankly immoral. Texas use of force laws seems to make sense most of the time.

You can't shoot someone stealing your stuff unless it is at night and there is no other way to stop the crook, even if it's on your property, for example.

The dood would definitely have a weapon pointed at him. Wouldn't shoot unless there was a need, i.e. had weapon pointed at me, pulled one or tried to take mine, etc. but I would use the threat of shooting to apprehend and detain. I won't shoot indiscriminately, but will shoot if I feel its warranted, regardless of what is law.

Shooting people to stop theft is justified under TX law, sometimes.

Not as cut and dry as they enter your home and you can kill them here in Texas.

Pretty close though.
