Texas has similar laws, as anyone who was ever obtained a CCW license there can readily share.

In Texas I can shoot anyone that's on my property. I don't have to be in any "danger".

I'm sure the laws in NY are NOT the same.

Castle doctrine is irrelevant to an altercation on public roads, and you are terrifyingly unfamiliar with Texas law.

TX allows for you to use force as necessary to stop trespassing, but you may not escalate to deadly force unless required.

In addition, the castle doctrine protects your habitation (which precedent indicates as covering a forced entry to or removal from a vehicle), but not "property" as you state. Detached garages and land have been declared as not covered under the law.

1. I was not trying to say it was the same as something that occurred on public roads. I was merely giving an example of the difference between two state's laws.

2. Here's everything you need to know about castle doctrine (or whatever you call it) here in TX: Everyone here is armed and everyone here WILL shoot you if they find you in their home. If you want to argue legal technicalities with a TX homeowner pointing a gun at you, go right ahead.

Texas has the "Law of Parties," when it comes to felony murder cases. Essentially, if a second person is a "party" to the one who commits the murder, that second person can be convicted of murder as well.

I believe a lot of states are like that, no?

Associate to the crime or something?
