Shooting a car thief can be legal, it just depends on where you live... Texas for instance comes to mind, deadly force is allowed to prevent most severe felonies in fact. There are other states that have similar laws. Would you steal a truck from someone if you knew they might shoot you to stop you? In most states the most you can do is yell at them... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
