If someone enters my home, that warrants any amount of force that I choose if I feel my family is in danger.
Keep some fava beans on hand at all times, just in case.
If someone enters my house, that warrants my son and I putting our hands up and begging for mercy.
@@bowtieguy85 Good luck with that.

In Texas we are a stand your ground state.
I was in fear for my life. I used force to stop the threat. I am terrified and extremely shaken. I want a Lawyer.
Wrong. Don’t say a word other then I need an Atty
don't use this guy
That’s what you say to 9-1-1 only. Also ask for an ambulance for yourself. The cops cannot interrogate you if you are in a medical emergency.
If someone unlawfully enters my property I am IMMEDIATELY in fear for my life and I will do what I need to do to feel safe.
That's completely illegal. You will go to prison and rightfully so. You're what we in law enforcement refer to as a trigger happy sociopath. If someone is simply on your property and you shoot them. We absolutely will arrest you, charge you, have a fair trial convict you and sentence you to prison. If someone is pointing a gun at you from your front yard, you can use the same deadly force to defend yourself, but if they're unarmed or only have a blunt force weapon a knife or anything else that is not a firearm and you shoot them, you've just committed a felony. Good luck with your idiot cowboy wannabe philosophy. I urge you not to test your idea. It absolutely will land you in prison for a minimum of 25 years.
I feel like they must be dangerous if they never received permission to be in my home. And taking chances is not in my best interest.
We’ve had the Castle Doctrine in Texas decades before the doctrine even had a name. Chapter 9 is Chapter 9; same as it always was.
I saw a video where an armed teenager broke into a home in the early morning hours through an unlocked front door, the home owner also armed got into a shootout with him and died, the perpetrator ended up on video asking for medical attention after being shot multiple times at a neighbors and saying he’d been shot, those home owners had no idea he just killed a man and burgled.
I would counter the initial argument with, if they come at you with their fists you can assume that they have experience or training. In that case, you fear for your safety. And that their intent is to cause bodily harm.
In Texas you can defend against bodily harm. Texas Penal Code 9.31. This section states that “a person is justified in using force against another when and to the degree the actor reasonably believes the force is immediately necessary to protect the actor against the other’s use or attempted use of unlawful force.” If you have reasonable belief that an aggressor poses an immediate threat, and use an amount of force that is no more than necessary to repel the aggressor’s threat.
I am NOT trained in martial arts. I have NO IDEA if the aggressor is trained or not. With their confidence, I assume so. The right to use deadly force was not made by me, but by my aggressor.
On the contrary. One punch can kill someone. Deadly force is extremely appropriate.
A punch can easily render you unable to further defend yourself. You only get one chance.
💯 Correct.
You will end up in jail.
@@WingMan1964 we can't all just coward toward lawers in suits.
Someday the people need to demand reality and common sense.
I am seventy-five and I live in Texas. I have been employed as a level 3 (armed security guard) and I have a CHL permit. I am almost always armed when I leave my home. Basically it comes down to the totallity of the circumstances when the use of deadly force is necessary.
i applaud you sir, smartest choice for your own self preservation and overall safety. i hate seeing criminals single out the older of of our population, or women by themselves, etc.. always an advocate for arming yourself at ANY age in life!
I'm with ya',
Mr. Bill Sanders!
Same here 👍🇺🇸
im also a Texan. I m going to keep my things an love ones safe even tho u may loose urs t rying to take min mine
Right on Bill
@nicolasl2868 I do not "live in fear", as you put it. I am a realists and do a lot of things to protect myself from the unforseen. I always wear a seat belt when I am in a moving automobile, I get a flue vaccine shot every year, I keep my front door locked. If you feel that you do not need a firearm to prevent someone from assaulting you, then do not own one, but I believe you are being naive if you believe that it could never happen to you. As for being armed while working as a security job, most of the clients requested armed security for good reason and were willing to pay for it. I have turned working armed post because I felt it was unsafe to do so.
At what point does a Fist present deadly force? Many people have been killed or knocked out and beaten after 1 single punch. How is that not at least grounds for the threat of deadly force if the attacker doesnt stop?
Especially if you are a woman. A woman physically is typically so out-powered by a male fist that if she is just using her fists then she is still not using equal force. She needs a knife or gun and until she has then she will never have equal force.
Fists are statistically more deadly than the AR-15 in home invasions
Exactly we should use deadly force!
It confuses me how they drew the line there like what if they knocked you unconscious how do you know they're not gonna kill you?
Relax.theres always disparity of force
In California, you're supposed to prepare a cup of tea and biscuits for the burglars and allow them to take your things all while smiling and thanking them for it. Failure to do so and defending your property during a break in would send you straight to prison and the burglars receive all sorts of awards and possibly a noble peace prize.
Lived in caliornia for 22 years all of my life, plan on moving to houston texas in a couple years. My advice to anyone who is in cali or wants to come here to cali. RUN FOR YOUR FUCKING LIFE ! California is a liberal shithole, to expensive, rude people, all about what you have and status, overall nothing but cons. Only pro is the weather thats it. Oh and gun laws dont forget that ! Gotta have a generation 3 and below 🤦🏽♂️ what a joke
@@elijah2658 I live in Houston if you need any answers advice
I was from San Francisco and moved to Austin, TX. Also I am a liberal so .. I don't like guns, I believe BLM and DFP. I moved to Texas coz I can't afford SFCA but I have the right and I bring my beliefs and higher moral standards with me. In short all my friends would eventually move here and were all going to slowly and incrementally change the sociopolitical demographics of the state. Hey we got Austin, Huston, Dallas, and San Antonio!!!
@@iDYPilms you can try
@@iDYPilms you have to be a troll. There’s no way you’re a real person
An update on this with the new constitutional carry laws and a little more on person to person self defense would be great
They've got a newer one out now called "Self Defense: Can You Use Deadly Force in a Fistfight in Texas?". It's a pretty good watch.
Highly recommend getting some carry insurance. Do your homework on the different carry insurance companies as some want you to reimburse them if you use their services. Look for a company that has no cap on the amount they pay an attorney, pays for loss of wages, crime scene cleanup, expert witnesses, 24 hour live service, bail’s you out etc. A good defense isn’t cheap.
Solid advice. There are a lot of 2A insurance providers out there.
Basically in Texas you break my door you pay with your life.
I don't care what state I'm in, you break down my door I'm putting my hands up and saying take whatever you want just please don't hurt us.
Who's man's is this
@@bowtieguy85 Good luck with that. The intruder is most likely armed and intends to kill you anyway. While your hands are in the air you'll have a bullet in your head before you even finish that sentence.
@WildHorsesRunFaster neither intruder I've experienced was armed.
@@bowtieguy85 WOW! One intruder is 1 too many!
Someone just tried to rob me at the laundromat while I was in my car. That is why I'm here. Keep your head on a swivel folks
I’m so sorry that happened to you. How scary! Thank goodness that you’re ok. God bless!
So if someone threatens you with a fist fight , you cant use deadly force ? That persons fists might have the ability to kill you, so a person should be justified to use deadly force to protect him or herself
I am a small (& now elderly) woman who is still weak from cancer treatments. Am I REALLY only allowed to try to fist fight some man who threatens me only with his fists???
@@lindariley7037 Every case is looked at separately. In your case, it could be argued, that deadly force is justified due to your inability to protect yourself. No jury in Texas would convict you for shooting someone in your own home if you felt threatened, and feared for your life.
What if you’re like chuck norris and your fists are deadly weapons? Would you be at fault for reasonably defending yourself with your roundhouse kick? Or even just your fists?
No you can’t use deadly force. Learn how to fight or walk away, if not enjoy prison
EXACTLY CORRECT
In Texas, what are the use of force (not deadly force) requirements and limits against someone who is confirmed to be criminally trespassing? The trespasser has ignored multiiple clearly placed No Trespassing signs and entered the property, but is otherwise not a threat. Texas Penal code 9.41 seems pretty clear on that, but what is your expert opinion?
you said it yourself you may use non deadly force
so I'm 70 years old and I can not throw hands as I used to ..so should I stand there and take a whipping? or I'AM I allowed to escalate?
Meeting force with equal force is stupid when you consider that a grown man can beat another person completely to death with his fist. So, I can't use deadly force against someone who is agressively trying to beat me unconscious, or worse? Maybe I should ask the person if they intend to kill me? Not knowing a criminals intentions, especially if my Wife is with me, is reason enough for me to use whatever is at my disposal to defend myself and my loved ones. I wouldn't use deadly force to protect my property at all. I just hope if a guy steals my tv, he remembers to take the remote control too!
You sound very knowledgeable and sound I’ll be sure to recommend you to all my friends
What friends? BOOM ROASTED!!!
Sound?
See this is one of the problems. People will listen to and recommend people that SOUND knowledgeable. Always ALWAYS confirm it yourself.
This is a bit out of date -- 2 years old. Texas is now a permitless handgun carry (aka Constitutional Carry) state, so the info for carrying a handgun only in your home, your vehicle, and between them, unless licensed to carry, needs updating. Anyone else otherwise legal to purchase and own a handgun may carry one concealed in a holster or openly In a holster anywhere it is legal to carry a weapon.
Also, the term "illegal knife" has been removed from the Texas Penal Code. It was replaced by "Length Limited Locations". If 18 or older OR if accompanied by a parent or guardian, virtually any style and length of knives may be carried. There are 3 location categories:
1. No knives of any kind
• Public buildings (courts,
etc)
• Airoprts beyond security
check-in
2. Length limited locations
• Blade lengths over 5.5" not
allowed
• Check online for details at
"knife carry in Texas" -
there were several places
listing details the last I
checked, including law firm
websites, a knife carry
advocacy group, and the
Texas State Statutes
(linked on the DPS [Dept of
Public Safety - state police]
website)
3. Everywhere else.
• You may walk down the
street carrying a sword,
battle ax, spear, etc.
• You may carry a large
Tactical or Bowie knife on
your belt at all times, etc.
However, there is a short list of illegal weapons that may not be carried. Check online for a detailed list. Unfortunately for bushcrafters and historic reenactors this includes tomahawks. For unknown reasons it was added apparently as an afterthought, since it appears at the end of the list for "clubs and bludgeons". I am sure carrying one at a reenactment event would be allowed, but probably not just hilking or camping. I seldom carried an axe camping anyway, preferring a 14" to 16" heavy bladed machete. A heavy blade (0.125" to 0.250" thick) 15" long bolo will do 85% or so of what a camp ax will.
What if it's three against one and they won't stop and they won't leave your property your home?
I am old and gimpy and although not specifically addressed here, I can no longer scrap like I used to and sure as hell can't run or effectively evade. My options are therefore more limited than they used to be. You gotta do what you gotta do to protect you and yours.
If you could answer a few quick questions I would appreciate it.
1. So would just finding someone in your home at any time of the day warrant deadly force? Even if it was daytime. Say my backdoor was unlocked because I constantly let the dogs in and out, so the intruder wouldnt technically be breaking in? Although I would still assume they were planning on harming me or my family, or possibly committing theft or burglary since they would have no business being in my home.
2. If someone was camping somewhere in Texas in an RV, and someone is attempting to enter or does enter or break into the RV, would that warrant deadly force? Again, I would assume they intend to harm or rob...
3. Finally, what about in the case of self carry and the situation is not strictly "Self defense"... as I see the desire to draw a weapon being much greater in an active shooter situation in this day and age. There are too many stories of populated areas and mass shootings. If there was an active shooter somewhere in Texas and someone was to use deadly force, even though the shooter may not have been engaged with or directly threatening them, would deadly force still be justified to help or save others?
I swear these laws make it impossible for us to defend ourselves and protect intruders. We're just suppose to hope that us alerting them of our gun is suffice for them not to rush us and possibly take it away? At that point it's real simple "he reached for my weapon officer"
i thing you're better off just burying the body these days.
not joking.
@@wolu9456 that’s why on my 300 acres , I already have holes dug back in the woods

I didn't know about the work place applying to the castle law. But does that also include like car technicians for example? Maybe leave it in the toolbox or something. Always have it at home and then leave it in the car when I get to work.
This was made before constitutional carry was passed in the state of Texas. We can carry anywhere unlicensed now in the State of Texas as long as the owner of the property has not told us to be unarmed. If someone does carry on property that has requested us to be unarmed this person is considered a trespasser, and can be removed by law enforcement, and charged with a misdemeanor. Other than that the information is really solid as far as I understand the laws on the books currently.
The person that attacks you could be trained in MMA, You have know way of knowing! If so he could KILL you with his hands thus making it necessary to shoot him! If some one attacks you using only their hands they are obviously confident that they can do you bodily harm using just their hands!😏🙆♂️🤷♂️🤬
What if they are more skilled (mma fighter or received training or knows the technics), or bigger, or multiple assailants?
What If Someone Attacks You w Fists, but Your Handicapped??
Considering the significant changes in the law in Texas, you should consider updating this.
You can use deadly force for someone breaking into your truck? What counts as your own property? What about people that rent lots or live in apartments?
Think twice before breaking into my property. Is it worth it?
We appreciate the videos education
Does the castle doctrine apply to unlawful warrantless entry by police?
A person that is engaged in criminal activity will not be entitled to a castle doctrine defense.
versustexas.com/blog/castle-doctrine-texas/
@@varghesesummersettpllc7161 I believe he means of they illegally enter your house and you fear for your life. Because they'll have guns drawn to shoot.
In this situation could you defend your family and castle from officers who illegally entered? I've wondered this with all the videos you see of it happening and innocent people killed
@@abc123hshdhd8w yeah I️ don’t think that’s getting answered
Dont mess with Texas !!
As a less lethal trained instructor, you can use chemical agents like defense spray too. Thank you!
Good luck when your chemicals piss them off and they shoot you.
I'm going to tell any judge or jury I was threatened because the intruder will not be in any condition to deny it.
Lol fr
Does that apply to the land you own surrounding your house? Isn’t the fence, the line at where your home begins, and then crossing it would be a forceful entry? Just curious
No that would be trespassing unless they forced their way through your fence if you have no fence it's not forced entry
Lock your gate at night.
Does this apply if you live in an apartment? Or in your car in public?
The castle doctrine in Texas is not limited by whether you live in a house or apartment, or where your car is, generally.
So if a person comes at me with a baseball bat? Do I tell them wait let me get my baseball bat. A baseball bat is a deadly weapon. Is it not? Tell me.

amazing video guys but i do feel like at the end yall left us with a cliff hanger . i heard in texas i can legally shoot someone in the back fleeing with my property and i feel like thats a BIG topic that should be discussed considering we have to go through the jury of a bunch of people who might not quite be qualified . i have also heard at night laws somewhat change like you said .
At night. Read the Texas revised statutes on use of force.
@@Wildwestwrangler thank you sir/mam will check it out
If somebody is fleeing your property, you would not be in fear of your life and would not have a very good defense in court for having shot them in the back. In the old days one might have turned the deceased over and shot them in the front … then tell the police that they spun around after you shot them in the front and only then got hit in the back. But forensics is too good these days and you would not get away with it. A rule I use for myself before engaging in deadly force is the assumption that I will spend the next ten years in jail. So, yes, I would use deadly force to protect my wife, children or self. But, no, I would not to shoot somebody who is fleeing or stealing my car.
You stated that if they are trying to enter your home forcefully you can use deadly force. What about if they are already in your home. Do I have to give a warning before I splatter them all over the walls? Or can I shoot first and ask questions after?
Just have a scratch gun or a knife you have loan them after they are dead.
Use common sense, why would they be already in your home ? Its simple, dont leave doors or screens unlocked or your car. You wont have that problem
@@greattribulation1388 💯 yes sir
@@elijah2658 I don't know what neighborhood you live in sir. But when has a lock ever kept a burglar out? Like he's going to approach your door and say "oh I can't go in here, this door is locked"
@@KingBeezy43 they don’t know that life exist bro
Ok. Now when the killer robber jumps your fence and he's running towards you, your not going to remember every little law this man just described. A lawyer, and a cop are NOT there at that moment. You do exactly what you have to within seconds to protect yourself and your family.
How much does the passage of Texas Constitutional Carry change this?
"if someone is criminally trespassing.. but doing nothing wrong"?? what tf is this even supposed to mean? LOL if someone is "criminally trespassing" on someones property they are in fact "doing something wrong".. are they not?
Most kids just jump the fence to retrieve their ball. Not as many will come to the door first to ask permission.
Most teens cut through yards too.
A punch can be just as deadly. Once I’m disoriented than what does he do? Keep beating me until I’m on life support? And/or now he takes the firearm I was carrying to commit more crime? I always hated the phrase “equal force” if my family is in danger I’m at 💯. That’s why so many police officers get assaulted and killed because their told to not put their life before the perp. And the cops that do the right thing and maybe use lethal force in a justified instance are vilified. It’s sickening how we are suppose turn on law inforcement and be on the criminal side.
Very good video. Straight to the point
Im sorry but i have many more questions. What about age of victim, what about the number of per per traitors? You said if someone comes at you with fists in a menacing fashion, you can use equal force but what if they are 20 something but you are in 60s? Can u use deadly force to equalize the situation? What if you are 18 year old female, but the perp is male and is in there 30s? Do i have to rely on my fists to save me? What if you are a felon of a non violent offense living with someone that has a gun. If im home alone and someone is breaking in can i go retrieve my roommates gun to defend myself?
If the person is 6’4” 259 lbs and you are 5’5” , the 6’4” 259 lbs person hits you
, is it legal to use deadly force? or can you use a blunt weapon for self defense?
Two on one sounds deadly
Good to know.
Went to the store RIGHT here on IN Texas it's open carry HERE YOU DON'T need training JUST GO to academy YOU got the money YOU get your gun how safe do you think any person with common sense should feel..Do you .
??? What if the one who is being attacked is much weaker and much old than the attacker ?
If I feel that my and mine are in danger I will react accordingly. With a gun, knife, or anything within my reach. I don't care about judges or laws. My person is my domain. You breach it you sew it. Then God can help you see why you're no longer here on earth. Peace.🙏💛💯
AMEN TO THAT
@@glenpaul3606 👍🙏💛
Can you please expand on the nature of being terminated by a private company for use of a handgun to defend yourself i.e. FedEx driver in Philadelphia who shot a robber in December 2019. Is it a wrongful termination
I'm a none walking disabled vet. How does this apply to me?
“Car to ur vehicle, or ur vehicle to ur car”. I thought it was the same thing.. I know what meant just messing. Good video
“Breaking” doesn’t require force. If they “break the plane” of my unlocked/open front door with the intent to commit a crime, they are breaking and entering.
Amen
It is technically impossible to judge an attackers martial abilities in the moments before an attack.
Now I've already got a problem with what your saying. If someone comes at me with balled up fists
making a threatening movements. I'm opening up on Him. I'm 5'6"" 120lbs, 68 years old.
I cannot fight someone comiing at me with intent on doing me bodily harm. In order to protect myself
& my wife I need to use some kind of weapon. The best weapon to defend my family is a firearm.
Now you tell me I have to let some a*hole pound on me instead of defending myself the best way possible???? How does that make any kind of sense?????
I totally agree with you. I’m middle aged also and wouldn’t stand a chance against someone bigger, younger and more dangerous, hitting me.
I carry a crossbow and a blackball pistol incase my water pistol doesn't have water.
Is he saying that if someone is punching me, that my only defense is to punch him back? I'm a walking cripple, with limited use of my arms. If a 90yr old lady grabbed my arm, there's a good chance that she could take me down, beat the hell out of me and possibly kill me and all I can do is TRY TO PUNCH HER BACK. Something is wrong here. Physically, I'm not able to defend myself without deadly force, so I guess that I'll either die due to a beating or go to jail for the rest of my life because i used my only means to protect myself. Personally, I don't like either one of those options.
From vehicle to car?
What if I was to catch two men under my vehicle hacking away to steal my Catalytic converter at night in Texas?
Better tried by 12 than carrying by 6
How do you measure the level of force(strike)on a person who is more powerful than you.For instance a female who is less powerful than a male. His level of force is going to be more powerful,then the female,so what other levels of force can a vulnerable female use at this point of attack?
Didn't mention attackers with knifes or clubs ...Size and number of attackers and elderly victims of attack
Check their pinned comment. They have newer videos covering that stuff.
Does ding ding ditch at 3am constitute “criminal mischief” warranting the use of deadly force?
I’m in my late 60’s. I’m not going “fist city” with a younger person and especially one in better shape. There should be some allowance for age, I would think, as far as use of deadly force?
So if I'm on the street and man comes to assault me, I have to wait to be assaulted. I'm 72 years old and disabled. Someone who assaults me may overcome my ability at self defense very easily.
If someone has your valuable items, can you shoot them in the back if running or driving your car?
Not that I would. But I heard of a case that the person did not shoot the attacker but fired a shot in the air, floor and wall. And why was it a crime?
THE BATTLE OF ATHENS TENNESSEE, AUGUST 1 & 2 1946. A stolen election caused 2-300 locals & many were veterans of WW 2 to take up arms, march to & surround a police station & demanded justice. Instead it turns into a 6 hour gun battle with 2-3 dozen cops. Then the use of dynamite to blow open the police station brought justice in post WW 2.mid-20th century America. A 1992 Hallmark movie, filmed in Texas, titled An American Story is on you tube. 3 books have been written on this incident as well. This is a good example of a use of America's 2nd Amendment in American history!!!!!
@@smith806, in 1774 England banned guns/gunpowder in the 14 American colonies. Yes guns were once banned in America's history, colonial history on a national level. Attempted gun confiscation in April 1775 started that 8 year war for America's independence & England almost won that war in 1783!! 1900-2020, 1.5 million murdered in America. 1899-2020 3-4 million killed in car accidents. Since 1927, over 95 years car accidents have always been higher than all murder in America!!
Texas Casltle Laws. Also known as “Fuck Around and Find Out: The Home Edition”
There is an exception to the like force for like force. For instance a woman being attacked by a man who is obviously going to use fist to harm her may use deadly force to protect herself as she is going to be unevenly weaker. Likewise, and elderly person, particularly a disabled person who cannot reasonably withstand a brutal physical attack may also use deadly force.

I'm old , crippled and have two nerve diseases. I could not take a punch or be knocked down because then I could not defend myself or protect myself at all so I would have to....
As a Texan the name castle doctrine isn't a thing.. however if a person has a weapon in my house or property, you can assume they mean you harm or death. Unfortunately for them if you use just enough force to stop them you can be sueing for damages, this needs to be changed. While in the commission of a crime no criminal should be allowed to sue for damages if they are injured. Cameras, cameras, cameras. You must prove they are guilty and they are the criminals. Sadly thugs are today's media darlings and heroes.
Yes, this is thanks to the idiot liberal Democrats who favor the criminals over the victims. As always, everything the Democrats touch they F Up !!
What happens if you do but can't force to protect yourself
Wish I would have known this when my uncle was kicking in my door trying to kill me 🤘
He wasn't trying to kill you LMFAO
If a man punches me, he was a lot more force than me!
What if you are 65 or older
I only have my right arm, i cannot allow anyone with two arms to attack me. Regardless if he got a weapon or not.
Are my front and back yards considered part of my house? I don't have LTC, can I carry a gun while mowing my lawn?
Laws vary by jurisdiction, but in Texas a person can carry on their own premises, and premise includes real property.

I just rang the door bell and waiting. Can the home owner user use deadly force to shoot and kill me?
This is how self defense should be in any civilized free country
I love the Texas Law of Deadly Force at night. It is a DEFENSE to Prosecution for"...Theft in the Night..."
i heard there is a thing , called corrupted good guys and corrupted bad guys are RATS and something about snitches get stitches and sometimes DEATH
So, if someone uses deadly force against me, I’m allowed to use deadly force against them. Except, I would be dead.
My family did not take classes to carry just so we could take it from the house to the car. No we can carry any where unless they have a sign posted. You don’t sound very up to date
If I’m smaller and weaker than my attacker you could bet I’d use deadly force if I carried
God bless Texas!🎉
thanks good information
What amount of force is acceptable for a woman facing a man using fists?
Why cannot you shoot a warning shot?
What if it's illegal searches & seizures?
We can openly or concealed carry now without a license.
