Personally I think it is about time. I am tired of hearing how the victim is being sued for defending their home or loved ones. If the attacker/intruder is going to make an obvious attempt to steal and/or cause harm then Texans deserve the right to defend with any level of force, including deadly, deemed necesary. I am sorry, you break into MY home I will shoot you and make sure you are subdued or dead before I try to seek you medical attention. Why should I retreat from my home when you shouldn't be there. You should be retreating, not me.
I support the 2nd ammendment and most certainly this bill.
