Pay particular attention to Section 2(a)(1)(A).

I am thinking that under the law that went into effect Sept. 1, 2007, the shooting was totally justified.

Bottom line: You damn well better think twice before kicking in someone's door in Texas.

Stupidity or bad judgment can get you killed. In a car, in a bar, crossing the street or railroad tracks, kicking in a door in Texas or any one of hundreds of other situations. No one should be held responsible for someone else's stupidity or bad judgment.
