Double down, shoot the gas can, blow him up.

In LA you can't use deadly force to protect property.
More states should be like Texas on this. Everyone should have the right to protect their property.

(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:
(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
(3) he reasonably believes that:
(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; or
(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.

And of course, you shoot to kill. ALWAYS.

If you shoot someone for stealing a possession, you will regret it...better to just call the police.

Question is, what is the state law in regards to shooting someone stealing your property?
You cannot use deadly force to recover property. Period.
If you caught this person on your property and had a reasonable belief that they would cause immediate and serious bodily harm or death to you or a third person (your family), you can use deadly force in self-defense of yourself or others. No requirement to retreat in your own home. But if the back porch is not enclosed, they didn't actually break into your home, anyway.
shite like this is exactly how otherwise law-abiding citizens end up going to jail for a long, long time.

Justifications would be if you have a belief that without deadly force you or someone in your immediate surrounding would die or receive bodily injury..... or if the intruder enters into your domicile.
Long story short: dont go to jail for 20+ years over a gas can

Put out another full (metal) gas can. When he tries to steal it then shoot the gas can. Deal done.

In Louisiana...if he takes off running dont gun him down, lol
Im no lawyer. But it seems i remember he has to be directly threatening you to be able to be shot outside of the home.
Ask an attorney, seriously

Thanks for the the responses all. No I don't want to shoot a guy over a gas can, however if he is cutting my internet to be able to steal my stuff he may be ballsy enough to try and break in. Just needed to know the legality of defending my family home and property.

I have always heard if you shoot someone on your property make sure it is in your home or you drag the body inside your house.

Best thing I hear in my Concealed Carry class was, regardless of whether you are in the right or not, your life is going to change for the worst going forward.

Don't put it like that. Say you shot until the threat was neutralized.

I think you have to have some fear for your safety or bodily harm. You can't just go shoot some kid toilet papering your azaleas baw.

A homicide is justifiable: A. (1) When committed in self-defense by one who reasonably believes that he is in imminent danger of losing his life or receiving great bodily harm and that the killing is necessary to save himself from that danger. (2) When committed for the purpose of preventing a violent or forcible felony involving danger to life or of great bodily harm by one who reasonably believes that such an offense is about to be committed and that such action is necessary for its prevention. The circumstances must be sufficient to excite the fear of a reasonable person that there would be serious danger to his own life or person if he attempted to prevent the felony without the killing. 15130495 (4)(a) When committed by a person lawfully inside a dwelling, a place of business, or a motor vehicle as defined in R.S. 32.1(40), against a person who is attempting to make an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, or who has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, and the person committing the homicide reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave the premises or motor vehicle. State v. Jordan (La. App., 2015)
