ah i so enjoy Texas. Here the law states that if you see someone stealing your property and you have reason to believe you will never see it again you can shoot them. recently some guy got shot for stealing car rims. The shooter got aquited.
1 question though what are the requirements for carrying a concealed weapon and what kind of training do you need to go through? Is it only guns or knives as well?

Ask your county sheriff's office, they can be a great source. Also, if your state Attorney General has a website, oftentimes they'll post CCW information there.

As for shooting someone who was stealing my car's rims, I don't think it's worth it to shoot someone like that. Again, my feeling is that if your life is in danger, or the lives of your family, or even a complete stranger, then you have the justification to shoot. Otherwise, the rims can be replaced, unless they're those god-awful spinners that Latrell Sprewell first started selling.

Kyung, make yourself a set of bolas and learn how to use them. The gauchos in Argentina use them to bring down cattle, I'm sure they'd work well on a jerk who's stealing your stuff.
