SORRY FOR THE TYPO, THE ENDING SHOULD READ: Please with all due respect, place yourself in the scenario(s) that I have presented and then give ME your thoughts, both personal and from the legal prospective.

Well as you all know...crime has been on the rise for some time now. I know the law as a CHL holder inthat I have the right to protect myself and my propety. So here is the iffy situation:

Lets say that I am outside outside my vehicle. Then I am confronted by a bad guy with a gun. He demands my keys and money. Upon handing over my keys, he begans to walk toward my car to take off.

Would I be held liable If I:

A- shot him in the back to retrieve my car and money

B- Yelled out, and then fired upon him once he turned around, with his weapon

C- Fired upon my own car, figuring a window and entire interior cleaning is cheaper than replacing the whole car


This all my sound crazy, but I always think about what I would do in various situations. I hear about things that happen in the news and wonder about ways to protect myself and belonging, however I'd hate to make a split minute decision that would be seen by a grand jury as excessive.

Please with all due respect, place yourself in the scenario(s) that I have presented and then give my your thoughts, both person and from the legal prospective.

Thanks,
