Please elaborate...?
They make a move like they're gonna go for their concealed gun/pistol?
They get smart and mouth off to you?
What's your initial approach?
While I'm sure most would like to shoot trespassers, in reality it's probably not a good idea to raise the adrenaline levels...esp with guns around.
I remember reading an article about this in a hunting mag. Basically it told you to carry a camera and phone with you, take pics, call the police or appropriate local authorities, do not confront the trespasser, as he could be dangerous...
and really if an unarmed trespasser made a move as if he were going for his gun...and didn't have one, then what? say hello to a jail cell for a # of years...
Personally I'd prosecute all trespassers to the full extent of the law, then probably post a billboard on my property of all the people who have been caught trespassing my property and the outcomes....ie John Doe caught 2006, $2000 fine, 30days in jail...etc...
I always wondered, if you caught someone parked on your property trespassing/hunting, could you slash their tires? legally?
