While I agree that I was somewhat paranoid, I was raised to not touch stuff that is not yours. They had absolutely no business whatsoever touching my rig, for any reason - even with intentions such as yours. If they smashed my window or something, I'm not about to stand by while they do that.
I was 30 miles from the nearest town, no cell phone reception, what if they had stolen my rig? What should I have done then? Started walking? I would probably still be hiking home. Where do you draw the line?
like I said, I agree that they went past the line for how they were acting with regard to your vehicle.
You said: "what if they had stolen my rig? What should I have done then? Started walking? I would probably still be hiking home. Where do you draw the line?"
if you're going to carry a firearm you better learn and know RCW 9A.16 inside and out because it is what defines when you lawfully can use it. And failing to use it properly may cost your rights.
RCW 9A.16.020Use of force — When lawful.(2) Whenever necessarily used by a person arresting one who has
committed a felony and delivering him or her to a public officer competent to receive him or her into custody;
RCW 9A.56.065Theft of motor vehicle. (2) Theft of a motor vehicle is a class B
felony.
RCW 9A.16.050Homicide — By other person — When justifiable.Homicide is also justifiable when committed either:
(1) In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister, or of any other person in his presence or company, when there is
reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished; or
(2) In the actual
resistance of an attempt to commit a felony upon the slayer, in his presence, or upon or in a dwelling, or other place of abode, in which he is.
so you can detain them until a LEO arrives, but unless they are in the process of assaulting you you're on shaky ground to draw on them is the truck and tools worth a life? If you were on a jury, would a person having to walk qualify as a threat to their life? I cant say that it would to me if I was on a jury unless they could establish a need for medicine or weather extremes, and we both already know what a libtard would think and need to remember jury nullification.
