In my neighborhood, people are getting their Chevy rims and tires stolen quite often. My question is, if i get an alert on my camera and someone is stealing my rims and tires, what are my options? If i call the cops they will be long gone by the time they arrive. I thought about shooting their tires with a shotgun....just fear where the shot will ricochet too.

Is it at night? Light there *** up with buck shot. If you going to discharge a weapon it needs to be in the head chest area nowhere else. Just asking for a lawsuit. If you can't shoot the person then leave em be call the cops yell at them etc. But don't pull that trigger unless you intend to kill them.

Question 2. You think your legal legal fees are more or less if you shoot them and they do not die?
Both serious questions.

I hate a thief. Shooting their tires out is a bad idea you gave up your location if they are armed and i bet most are. I don’t think taking a life should be taken lightly if your life isn’t threatened call the police run them off. Now if you are in a very rural area and you own/have access to a backhoe and your wife can keep a secrete game on?

a new set of wheels can be expensive to watch them drive off with.
My interpretation is you would be legally justified in using deadly force under certain conditions. But be aware there is language in there that could be very gray and could go either way. You would need to review the penal code for the specifics.
As to “shooting their tires out” I wouldn’t recommend that. IMO if you resort to deadly force it should be just that. I don’t think intentionally discharging a weapon at their tires would be legally justified use of deadly force.

Long as the shoot is legal then not worried about a lawsuit. And at night taking my stuff. Pretty sure that is legal. Will have to post the laws when I get back to my computer.
