I believe it is up to $500 here. Very weak laws protect property owners and their property. Trespassing with a weapon can become criminal trespass whichis a whole new ballgame. Then there is trespass where the criminal stole or damaged the property. All of which can be allot higher fines or jail time in excess of the basic trespassing.Where there is Unposted or Unfenced property there could be an honest mistake, but on land that is properly posted and fenced the trespasser is breaking the law and is fully aware of it.Confrontingatrepasser with a weapon is tricky and life threatening. If they do not imediately put the weapon down your life is at risk and you may have to defend yourself. As the law says: "if you reasonably believe you are at risk of serious bodily harm or death" If the gun barrel goes in your direction I say shoot first, hash it out later.
