In response to your:...just last week I woke up to 4 teens trying to load my tav onto a trailer,"........

What did you do:
1. Ring 911
2. Fire a weapon in the air (which weapon)
3. Shout at them to get off your property
4. Shoot at them
5. Arrest them and hand them over to the local sheriff.

PS I would have done 2 & 5

Just a note on that, Judith -
#2 will get you arrested in many places (felony charges, "brandishing"; also, negligent/careless discharge of a weapon is at least a misdemeanor most places.)
#5, you are not recognized as a "legitimate authority" - so you'll also be charged with kidnapping or unlawful imprisonment.

Only der Fuhrer can imprison or execute someone... Or, any appointed agent of "the state."

Just pointing out the realities. 

But, as might be noted from my other posts, I'm a bit less polite and tolerant and, well, HUMAN than most. There's no reason for violence until it's time to kill; then, there's no excuse for hesitation. That's the attitude you get when your testicle is ruptured in grade school, and the "authorities" will do nothing to curb such abuse; you realize, in the end, it's up to you, and those same authorities will punish you for acting defensively - then they're no better than the criminals (bullies) they are protecting.

The weapon, BTW, is immaterial. Personally, I'm a knife or explosives type, depending on situation....  Do I need to be close, or can I be distant..?  Distance = safety...

Paradise this ain't....

Interesting, don't you have the right in the US to do a "citizens arrest"?

Actually a combination of several of the above. I grabbed my AR 15 (my sbr with a 14.5 inch barrel) chambered a round and yelled "Yall git the hell off my property and if you little SOB's ever come back I'll shoot all of yall" then since I know their families I went to their houses and got the joy and pleasure of watching them get their butts heated up so bad sitting won't happen for a week or two.



We don't call the cops out here unless it's big.....like a Massey Ferguson going missing, but even then we warn the people that live adjacent to us so they can hide their pots, stills, finished shine and weed plants from the sheriff.....unless you already paid him 5,000 that month to uhhhh look the other way.
