In Texas, it's legal to shoot someone egging your house, as long as they're doing it at night and you have a reasonable belief that you can't otherwise safely stop them. Egging a house is criminal mischief.

EDIT: Also, where are all these people in Florida getting affordable eggs to egg with?
It’s bullshit the laws only count at night. It should be legal in the daytime too.
If someone steals from you it’s literally legal to chase them down and shoot them to recover your property
Best law in the nation in that regard
9.42(2)(B)'s last word "and" makes it clear to satisfy the statue one must:
-Satisfy 9.41(1);
-Satisfy either 9.41(2)(A) OR 9.41(2)(B); AND
-Satisfy either 9.41(3)(A) OR 9.41(3)(B).
That reading effectively reads the final requirement out of the text or presumes some extreme fact pattern that was not mentioned.
Eggs at Aldi in Florida are under $4.50.
AND the land cannot be protected by any other means or is considered a substantial risk of serious bodily injury to the person shooting them.
Firmly believe every judge would rule an 11 year old with eggs does not fulfill those requirements and therefore would likely be charged with manslaughter of some sort.
Now... If they set foot inside their house, that might be a different story. Eggs I don't think would be considered breaking into a house/vehicle/property
Can't tell at night. Could be a short MS-13 member with a gun who's egging the house. Even if you see they're an 11 year old girl, she could also be a MS-13 super soldier.
I think you are only considering a WHITE 11 year old. And I think you are dead wrong.
Texas, man breaking and entering property, owner shoots him and is charged with murder. They aren't hard to find, because people spread misinformation like this:
https://myfox8.com/news/texas-man-charged-with-murder-after-shooting-intruder-before-going-back-to-bed/
Shot in the neck outside his property. Is neither self defense or defense of property.
Leaving the guy dying afterwards without calling an ambulance is also neglect of his responsibility.
Even if it was inside his house, you can't just leave somebody to die if they have been incapacitated.
He simply completely lacked plausible deniability of any kind. So I don't get what your point is.
Yeah I've heard enough
~~So they can shoot you in the back as you're running away. got it.~~
