In Texas they let you shoot someone who has broke into your neighbors house while they are leaving.
>Horn: “I’ve got a shotgun; do you want me to stop them?”
>Pasadena emergency operator: "Nope. Don’t do that. Ain’t no property worth shooting somebody over, O.K.?"
>Horn: "But hurry up, man. Catch these guys will you? Cause, I ain’t going to let them go." (Horn then said he would get his shotgun.)
>Operator: "No, no."
>Horn: "I can’t take a chance of getting killed over this, O.K.? I’m going to shoot."
>(The operator tells him not to go out with a gun because officers would be arriving.)
>Horn: "I understand that O.K. But I have a right to protect myself too, sir, and you understand that” ... and the laws have been changed in this country since September the First [2007], and you know it and I know it. I have a right to protect myself. A shotgun is a legal weapon, it's not an illegal weapon."
>Operator: "You’re going to get yourself shot if you go outside that house with a gun."
>Horn: "You wanna make a bet?" Horn: "I'm gonna kill 'em"
>Horn: "Well here it goes, buddy. You hear the shotgun clicking and I’m going."[12]
>Horn, to burglars: "Move, you’re dead."
>(There were two quick gunshots, then a third.)
