I did not say that. A person does not have a right to shoot you or even pull a gun on you just because your tresspassing. If the guy pulled a gun on me and i felt threaten yes i would shoot him to defend myself.
But i do not tresspass so thats not going to happen.
How does he have the right to pull a gun on you just because your on his land. Now if i was a land owner and found people on my land and felt the need i would have a gun in my hand. Had this happen in ky i saw to guys on my land down the ridge comeing up toward my barn. When i went to catch them i took my rifle loaded and on my shoulder. Happen to be a ar15. I did not do that to shoot someone or to intemidate the guys i did it because both of them had rifles in there hands. I did not threathen them or call the law though i should have. BUt i did catch them again a few weeks laters. Both times they were armed with 30 06s and hunting out of season.

I will say it someone threatens me or pulls a gun on me there dead. No burning down the barn no baseball bat to the face. Bang there dead.
Though maybe he felt threaten and set his hand on his gun. With more then one person in the woods like that you never know when you will need the gun.

It sounds to me like the guys made an innocent mistake and whether he pulled the gun or not he still threatened them by putting his hand on it. First of all I wouldn't have stayed there. He could have shot me in the back if he wanted but that would have been his choice and second I would highly recommend not pulling a gun on me and not using it or threatening me with a gun and not using it!! That's how barns get burned down or people answer their door and get hit in the face with a baseball bat...... not saying I would or wouldn't have done that, but I know ALOT of people that frown on that as highly as I do and wouldn't recommend that type of action because I know far too many that would have made him pay dearly for that mistake.
So you are saying that if you were tresspassing and the land owner caught you and pulled a gun on you that you would shoot them? Wow.
I can read the headlines now "landowner slane by tresspasser trying to defend property and himself"
