Pretty sure there is a loop hole in law in LA that states if theft is on private property and is at night then lethal force is warranted.

If the perp were found with an otherwise untraceable lethal weapon with their prints on it after the shooting you would also be good.

Option 2 move to tx. Shoot fricker in yard. Call cops to clean up mess. Just know with civil law your life will still get turned upside down especially if perps skin hue is more than 1 shafe darker than yours.

I'm pretty sure Texas has such a law -- but Louisiana doesn't. In Louisiana our statutes are constructed to allow us to use deadly force to protect people, not property.

If you're in the vehicle, you can use deadly force against someone breaking in.

If you're outside the vehicle, you'll need to be able to articulate why you felt you were in reasonable fear of death or great bodily harm if you use deadly force.
