Self-defense Is Legal in Louisiana

But then I thought it was. Grand jury declines to bring charges against Tangipahoa deputy, resident in fatal shooting

On Monday, Perrilloux said the evidence compiled by State Police and presented to the grand jury showed that the homeowner, who was carrying a rifle, discovered Patterson in the act of burgling his shed. The two got in a hand-to-hand-scuffle before the homeowner eventually cleared enough space between the two of them to fire the rifle at Patterson, killing him, according to Perrilloux.

The Tangipahoa deputy arrived at the scene while the two were scuffling and saw the homeowner shoot Patterson. Unsure of who the initial burglar was, the deputy fired at the homeowner, Perrilloux said.

Shoot first and worry about the details later. Professional policing in the 21st Century.

Well, self-defense is human-right, and might be your legal right in Louisiana, if the cops don't show up and shoot you for exercising your legal right.
