Example: âYou loot, we shootââŠnot the best message in court, announcing you will shoot people for stealing. That whole self defense vs stuff defense thing and how the law sees killing over theftâŠnot the best setup for court, criminal or civil
Around here itâs orange fence posts that means no trespassing but you donât even have to do that if you donât have written permission you are trespassing
For me personally the only signs I display are âNo Tresspassingâ and âBeware of Dogâ . I donât want to advertise gun ownershipâŠwill just let it be a surprise if the ocassion should occur.
Once again thatâs just how I prefer things.
I wont put up signs that indicate I have guns or what I would do to trespassers. The legal implications are real and that is from attorneys. I donât know the nature of the harassment and I am not an attorney so no legal advice except get a lawyer.
Put up cameras and keep track of the number of vehicles going to his property. A high number could indicate sales. The cameras would also keep track of trespassing by the neighbor. Enough incidents and police can be involved.
Defendants might be able to argue that they had no intent to communicate a true threat, rather it was just a joke or a matter of blowing off steam. In some cases, a defendant could argue the words were protected as free speech, such as a form of political exaggeration or art. Your lawyer might be able to argue that the underlying criminal statute is unconstitutional because itâs vague or overbroad.
We have alot of posted signs in my area. Had a conversation once, I was asked why I always kept my doors locked. My answer was that locks really only slow bad guys down they most likely give a little bit of extra prep and descision time. Also they are also for protection of those trying to break in.
My neighbor used to come over before i put up gates. Id only been on the property a couple months. He would walk around at midnight. I went out one night with my gun and as he ran back to his gate and slammed it i told him, next time you may get shot. He never stepped foot again. And i had the gates up a couole weeks later. I have signage on all public sides of property. No trespassing and you are being recorded.
If I have to work to get the things I need or want and you take them without paying me for my work that makes me your slave, which is a 13th Amendment violation, justifying and 2nd Amendment response.
Reading crime reports/self-defense stories from about 50+ years ago (1970s and earlier), shooting a fleeing criminal and/or someone stealing oneâs property was justified. Current beliefs and law regarding crime for the most part no longer believes nor allows (law) for private citizens, nor even police (most of the time) to shoot these same criminals.
Based on current crime stories, it would seem that by letting the criminals get away, it has not made our society better nor safer. I am not advocating for shooting a thief or fleeing criminal, just making an observation.
