Saw this story on the news the other day. Texas resident with Arizona CHL shoots and kills a perp who jumped in his tow truck and attempted to drive away. Tow truck owner left his truck running while he was walking around a parking lot looking for parking violations. News reporter and detective said nothing about the man claiming he was in fear for his life. Detective on TV actually quoted part of the law stating "theft during the nighttime". Regardless it was nighttime or daytime, the man was justified for stopping the perp from driving away in his truck. The truck owner was not arrested and released after questioning. Police investigating if Arizona CHL valid in Texas.

I've been told by many, including [Pre-paid legal service] who came to our CHL class that if you use deadly force, you have a high likelihood of being arrested even if it's a justified shoot. Left everyone with the fear that if we justifiably shoot someone, we will be arrested and forced to find legal counsel. I've seen and read several cases of this. I suppose it can go either way. Luckily this individual was not arrested. Anyone else seen this story? What would you do in this situation? Story below.
