Alright I don't even give a shit about what happens to Beard or what UT decides to do but as a father of daughters I probable should get some legal clarity on this from you legal types:
1. If I wake up in the middle of the night and some guy is in my house, and in my daughter's bedroom, without my permission or knowledge, would it be legally better for me to just shoot him versus getting in a physical altercation?
2. If I catch a intruder in my house in the middle of the night, am I in legal jeopardy if I physically assault him? As a follow-up, if my minor daughter (who does not own my house) declares some guy her "boyfriend", does this give him some legal protection to now break in to my house?
3. If my minor daughter can give someone permission to break into my home without my permission, can she also give her permission for her "boyfriend" to take my car? Furthermore, if he does take my car, can I shoot him now?
In summary, Any advice on when I can shoot my daughter's boyfriend would be appreciated.
