.
Like it or not, there ARE Rules of Engagement we do have to deal with and obey...

Even if the guy manages to avoid prison time he will be bankrupted with legal expenses, and never be able to legally own a firearm again.

On top of that, he'll probably have the thieves family stalking and trying to kill him for the rest of his life.

At least the criminal won't steal any more cars, or even waste a bunch of society's resources with prison and counselling and whatever moocher-welfare programs he was on.

The Rules of Engagement are different from State to State.

Texans have the right to use deadly force against someone else when that person is using unlawful deadly force against you. Using deadly force must be immediately necessary and reasonable for it to be justified.

Additionally, you are generally permitted to use deadly force against someone if you believe it is needed to prevent someone from imminently committing: 

Aggravated kidnapping
Murder
Sexual assault,
Aggravated sexual assault
Robbery
Aggravated robbery

State laws do vary, and a wise man knows his state's law. I follow my own law, which is plain and simple: if a miscreant is armed and I feel he is a genuine threat, I shoot; if I come out of a store and he's driving away, no weapon displayed and not trying to run me down, I make a police report and file an insurance claim. In most states, that's good enough...

RE shoplifting...buildings are required to have auto water sprinklers in case of fire. How about setting up sprinklers that shoot out tear gas with manual switches/buttons behind EVERY register and various other spots around the establishment? Oh, and have all employees carry tear gas masks on their persons, just in case!

BTW, just picked up what is called a Carjacker Crossdraw holster from andrewsleather.com in Florida. Hope they're still in business after the hurricanes.

The guy deserves whatever is coming to him. It's somewhat common for a law abiding individual to get in the wrong car if they look the same....If crimes like that are allowed to go on, we will all lose our rights. What that guy did was a stain on the gun rights culture......

It's only a car....now if there was a kid or anyone else in the car that changes the equation.

Personally, I would have shot the tire out and took my chances...
