From my understanding:In Texas if someone kicks in your door you can shoot them without hesitation, and its completely legal. But as soon as I did it I would be frantically tearing apart my grow op before the cops arrived. Funny part is, probably wouldn't even be warranted, when shit like that happens they normally don't take anyone in or do much investigating. Texas has alot of problems, thats not one of them. As far as I'm concerned, they kick door the plant isn't even the issue. They didn't come in to give you a hug, and damn sure wouldn't just walk out peacefully if they saw you there. You really want to put yourself at a strangers mercy, who obviously has ill intent for you? Fuck that, shoot that motherfucker.
In Canada, you are only allowed to lock yourself into a room, annouce you are in there, arm yourself with the equivalent of whatever weapon your assailant has, and only attack him if he forces his way into your room. If you kill him, you're pretty much going to jail no matter what. If you leave your room to get rid of him, you can go to jail. Etc.
Yes, I realize how stupid this sounds. I'd like to think I'm misunderstanding something, but this explaination of it has been given to me by several cops.
