They Dont Make Dads like this Anymore

i went through the whole debacle of westlaw, and actually found the pertinent codes, but discovered that wikipedia was the more sensible way.

alabama: http://www.legislature.state.al.us/C...5/13A-3-23.htm

texas: http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlodo...l/SB00378I.htm (they left the formatting corrections in like a bunch of dummies).

substantively the same. both are "stand your ground" states. i.e. there is no duty to retreat from your own home, or any other place really, and deadly force is justified in defense of another fairly liberally.


knowing is half the battle, amirite?


edit: forgot to include the wiki link, derp.
