I’m concerned for children who might wander onto your property.
What would you do about people showing up to damage and spray paint your home ?
What would you do about people showing up to damage and spray paint your home ?
I don’t have guns. I think I would try to find out from one of their spokespersons what they want and listen to their concerns and ask them what they wanted done about their concerns, and tell them that I would think about what they had said. I would also suggest that they be careful not to do anything that would offend the people they were seeking to persuade, including me, because that would probably work against their goal…

Now it’s my turn to ask the question.
You’re not serious…are you ?
altair1013:I would not shoot them. Yet. But I would punch a vandal really hard in the head. If he decided to give me a reason to shoot after that? Too bad for him.
I don’t disagree. I was not responding to the quote about shooting someone for shouting obscenities at 2 am.
Fair enough.
I’m not going to get that close.
The issue with getting into a close-in fist fight is that in this same scenario is that you are outnumbered. And a mob can beat you to death. It happens all over the world every day.
I would personally stay back away from the threat, weapon ready to draw and tell them to leave and that I’m calling the authorities. At that point the next action depends entirely on what they do.
Probably the smart thing to do. But I am a former marine and like to stand my ground. I can also be a bit of a hot head when unjustly confronted. It’s a miracle I’ve lived this long.
GPS makes it harder for people and evidence to just disappear.
W_and_C:Semi-serious. Why, you don’t agree ?

This is a side-note - but man traps are a touchy subject at law.
If you set up a bear trap on your property, and a trespasser is injured by it, they can sue you - and they’ll win.

Probably depends on the state ?
Nope. It’s common law, not statutory law.
I thought you couldn’t shoot until they were inside your home? I
altair1013:…s showed up at her house at 2 AM. Attacking it with fireworks, damaging and spray painting it…
But, isn’t that just protesting?
Peaceful protesting.
I thought you couldn’t shoot until they were inside your home?
I think that depends on the state. Self defense is usually allowed no matter where you are.
Oakland’s mayor, Libby Schaaf had said that she would vote against any more budget cuts to the police department. So naturally, in an effort to intimidate her, the liberal brown shirts showed up at her house at 2 AM. Attacking it with fireworks, damaging and spray painting it. You know these goons. They are the same ones who liberals like to compare to the patriots at the Boston tea party. So what did the mayor do? She did not surrender to terrorism. She went to work the next day and cast the deciding vote against the cut. Not intimidated. Good for her!
Liberals don’t condone such actions. Stop generalizing.

Correction. All liberals don’t condone such actions.

Correction. Not all liberals condone such things. Your “not " is in the wrong place.”

That could be the purpose of the McKloskey charge. Make people uncertain of their rights and lethally slow to enforce them in case they are wrong.
That DA’s stance will green light leftist protesters to arm and when a property owner resorts to brandishing a gun, shoot the property owner claiming they were being illegally threatened, since they were only protesting “peacefully”.
Triggers will become more and more hair-trigger.

You see a problem there? Asking them to send one person over to talk with me?

No, I don’t see a problem
if threatened and police won’t come, as soon as they go onto your property and start doing violent things----you don’t wait till they break down your door then rape and kill you.
You can’t read their mind and know what they’re going to do.
They are the one’s choosing to attack you. It’s just self-defense to do as you have to do.
