I can't find the link related to use of force, let alone if this would even be considered force, more like use of restraint or unlawful detention.


Story.....

Last night I came home from one of my favorite bars. It was 20 cent wing night, and I can't pass that up (heart beats slower). I'm in my dining room looking at the window because I was on my cell phone. I normally walk around aimlessly when on the phone. I live at one of the corners on a T intersection in our sub division. I see someone walking down the street. He crosses the intersection then takes a right so he is walking along the front of my house on the sidewalk. I'm not really paying attention as I am on the phone, till I notice the person starts walking up the driveway. My house interior/exterior is completely dark, no lights on. So I stand there watching this person knowing he can't see me. He's wearing all black with a black hoodie. He looks at the keypad for the garage door, then goes to the other side at looks over the fence (we have a pool). I hang up my phone and tell my friend I'll call her back. I go over to the garage. Quickly turn on the inside/outside lights for the garage and open the door. I unholster my XD45 I still had on me from when I got back (I was only at the bar eating wings; drinking coke). By the time the door opens the guy is across the street one house down going up the at the intersection looking back at me. I just stood there watching him as he walked away.

I tell my mom what happened last night, and apparantly she had forgotten to tell me that last weekend on a saturday night she was in the florida room smoking and she had heard someone outside on the other side of the fence walking around.

The house across the street was broken into a couple months ago, and someone down the street had their car broken into about a week ago.

So my question.

If I catch this guy casing my house again, can I sneak up on him and hold him at gunpoint?
