    Not his property. His gf’s property. Dude has no legal right whatsoever to guard property that isn’t his own, does he?

        Well if he “drove over to her property”, he might not even be an occupant

          If you drive to your friend’s house for dinner, you’re a legal occupant of their house.

      That’s not entirely true.

      When I took my concealed carry class in Tx there was a section on this.

      It depends heavily on the relationship between you and the owner of the property. The example given in the class was a good neighbor relationship and suggested talking about this before something happened.

      I would expect that if the shooter and the owner are in contact during the event to weigh heavily on it.

      The gist is, it depends state-to-state but I would expect that their relationship would make an otherwise LEGAL use of a firearm OK. (I’m really not sure if this is a legal use…)
