That's three dead criminals recently.
Another man has killed two and wounded a third.
Isn't Texas law great.

There's a guy running around FL somewhere with a couple .22's in his ass. Homeowner returned home to find a strange truck in his driveway. Fired on the guy emerging from his front door.
In Atlanta, a security guard killed a would-be bank robber this morning.

Michigan has had 3 car jackers and one burglar shot in the last couple of weeks that I know of. You would think that a human was smarter than a bird but apparently it's not to be. Hello, Hello, bang, good bye

Just shows that you don't need a huge, tough dog to be an effective "watchdog". Just one that will alert the human.
Reminds me of:
A burglar breaks into a bar in the wee hours and heads for the cash register. He hears a voice say, "God is watching!" He freezes and looks around, but does not see anything, so he shakes his head and opens the cash register. Again, the voice says, "God is watching." He jumps and looks around. This time, on the counter behind the bar he sees a large bird cage with a parrot in it. The burglar realizes that it was the parrot who spoke and says, "So, are God." The Parrot say, "No, I'm Samson." The burglar laughs and say, "Samson? Who names a parrot Samson?" And the parrot replies, "The owner - same guy that named the Rottweiller God!"

Another year or 2 of this "Castle Doctrine" and the Texas crime rate will be ZERO. Either there will be no criminal scum left or they will learn their lesson.
I'm pleased either way.

My neighbor down the street didnt have a dog to guard his house...he had geese. They were very loud...and even meaner! Just walking by his house on the street (his house set back onto his property probably at least 300-400 ft), those geese always spotted us. And they squawked and carried on something fierce. It was sort of a game for my brother and me to walk that house by on our way to school and not be spotted by those geese. Rarely did we make it past them without being noticed...
God bless Texas!

Parrots are AWESOME burglar alarms. They don't like being awakened in the middle of the night, and even if they don't say "Hello", the AWK AWK AWK AWK AWK will wake you up. Of course, you'll have to peel yourself out of the ceiling where you jumped in order to access your firearm... but you'll be awake.

Springmom There used to be a restaurant and bar in Kansas City that had a Mina bird with a foul mouth. Whenever the bartender would get fed up with it he would throw a handfull of ice at the cage and yell "shut up g**d****t". Eventually, all he had to do was toss an ice cube at the cage and the bird would say "shut up g**d****t".

Burglary, robbery, intrusion, carjacking, etc. are all dangerous jobs, but there always seems to be folks willing to take those jobs.

An unfortunate third option is that the criminals will all gravitate to states like mine, that aren't likely to enact anything as civilized as an enhanced "castle doctrine" law in my lifetime, or yours.
