9.43 states that if the conditions of 9.41 and 9.42 have been met .. THEN 9.43 can apply.
Sec. 9.41. PROTECTION OF ONE'S OWN PROPERTY.
Were they walking away with dog crap from Horn's lawn on their shoes?
Sec. 9.42. DEADLY FORCE TO PROTECT PROPERTY. A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41; AND
(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary
THE COPS WERE OUT FRONT OF HIS HOUSE WHEN HE SHOT THE TWO, SO, NO, IT WAS NOT NECESSARY BY ANY DEFINITION. THEY WEREN'T STEALING FROM HORN
(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; and
IT WAS BROAD DAYLIGHT WHEN HORN SHOT THEM, OR DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT "NIGHTTIME" MEANS? THEY HAD ALREADY COMMITED THE CRIME, NOT 'IMMINENTLY' about to do so.
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
AGAIN, THE COPS WERE OUT FRONT OF HIS HOUSE WHEN HE SHOT THEM
(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
DUH, HE PUT HIMSELF IN HARMS WAY BY GOING OUTSIDE
Here's the entire 911 call. Listen and then come back and tell us Horn isn't a complete dumbass redneck.
Complete Joe Horn 911 Call
BTW, he didn't EVEN KNOW HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS OR THEIR ADDRESS!! He saw two Hispanic 'Black' men and figured he'd play cowboy.
The Republican legislator who wrote and sponsored The Castle Law said Horn's actions were never his intention when proposing the legislation.
Only because Horn was a dumbass white redneck in a white part of town and the two burglars black Hispanics did he get off.
As to your living with your parents. You didn't deny you do. At 31 you claim to own a lakefront house and a party barge, eh? Uh, huh. Are you Jak C Muh's cousin? His daddy owns a pony ranch, so Jak C Muh thinks he's a big shot too.
You sound like a real dumbass redneck.
Goodnight, cupcake.
