The very least the bad guys call the police and says "This guy was brandishing a firearm at me, I was minding my own business" He get gets 6mmo to a year. Frank it's only a truck.. you can get another one just like it.

Shoot them all, heh Frank? Well lets review our choices:

A)
Assuming they get caught and are found guilty. They would be fined for the offense and ordered to pay restitution to cover the damages. So a little inconvenience to you while your in court and while the vehicle is being repaired. Hardly worth killing someone for.

B)
Assuming they get away before you even notice the damage. You file a claim with your insurance company and they cover the cost of repairs minus your deductable, $500.00 or $1,000.00. Still hardly worth killing someone for.

C)
Assuming you kill or wound them before the police arrive. You are arrested and charged with......1)Aggrevated Assault
2)Unlawful possession of a firearm
3)Possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose-All the of the above crimes fall under the Graves Act and carry mandatory 3-5 year sentences for each.
4)Murder, 1st degree-Life in prison or the Death penalty
5)Murder, 2nd degree-15 years to life.

So if we take your advice Frank we would be facing a minimum of 24 years to 39 years in prison or the Death Penalty.

Yes I know its a tough choice, but I'm sure everyone will make the right decision.
