I kinda like the Texas law. Maybe you'll recall about 2 years there was 911 recording where a neighbor called and said there was someone breaking into his neighbors house and asked for the police.

He stayed on the phone the whole time and 20 minutes later the police still aren't there. He finally told the 911 operator that the thief was climbing out the back window with bags of stuff and that if the police didn't show up immediately, that he was going to shoot him.

The police didn't show up. The guy didn't hang up the phone. He just told the 911 operator that he was going to shoot the thief. He laid the phone down, (didn't hang up), and you heard a big boom in the the background. He came back on the phone, told the 911 operator that he had just killed the thief in his NEIGHBORS yard.

Turns out the thief was wanted for rape, murder, assault and burglary.

He was never charged. Deemed it a "righteous shooting".
