Should Car Burglary Fall Under Justified Homicide Statutes?

Street pirates have made breaking into parked vehicles, sometimes stealing them, the 21st century equivalent of cattle rustling, minus deadly force defense legal in that era.

We in the protection wing of my informal safety coalition, are receptive to the idea of having car burglary fall under crimes where deadly force would be lawful.

Readers: I've added these two timely video to my article. Wasn't aware of either while writing- another proof this discussion needs to be had.

Vehicles are already considered extensions of the home for purposes of carrying firearms in them or using deadly force to stop a serious assault upon the owner or carjacking.

Such precedents could, repeat could, set the stage for a game changing revision of what's now considered in most jurisdictions a property crime, where deadly force defense is illegal.

Even some on the self defense empowerment circuit wince at shooting thieves breaking into cars. The fact this policy recommendation hasn't arisen in otherwise pro-gun red states suggests opposition would be bipartisan.

I'm warm to the idea because car break-ins are not only out of control but also outsized risks to vehicle owners coming up on often armed vehicle burglars ready to use deadly force themselves.

Compounding this long shot proposition-no pun intended-is youth of many vehicle burglars.

Your average well adjusted vehicle owner doesn't relish harming a teenager or more troubling, a pre-teen, regardless of provocation.
Nor do I, let the record reflect.

While legitimate concerns are duly noted, the question remains: should car burglary fall under justified homicide statutes?
