God gave us freewill , and a clear conscience , there was no evil in our souls or minds.
Others influenced our choices.

Tresspassers, no biggie!. No different than poaching or stealing traps off a line right? I'm sure the guy eating the chips had no criminal history? Would I have shot him? No, unless he was chewing with his mouth open. I can't stand someone smacking their lips!

The trespassing debate we have run through before I think the last big one came up when somebody purchased 20,000 acres and then posted the property. lol

What is the “ruling” on a situation turning violent after the owner confronts a trespasser?

Here in Virginia it's legal to trespass as long as you are looking for your dog, which all trespassers are, of course.

well, the guy is homeless, has nothing, and doesn't act like his bread is all the way done in the middle, possible early stage dementia, best thing would be take him to mcdonalds and buy him a meal.

Blaine and ADC have the answer. And a video on TikToc? I wouldn't trust anything on that platform. Also, let's remember, as AI moves forward you may not be able to tell the BS put forth using AI vs the real thing.

I read it included the inside of the wall of your house. I extend that to my yard but my yard include everything I pay property tax on including when your 1/2 mile from and out of sight of the house.

I'm not friendly the first time always armed and ready. You never know how they will react, if they are drugged out or running a meth lab on your place. I'm darn sure not a wolf dog aw shucks how you doing man and giving them the chance to get the upper hand. I'm also not going to threaten or be dumb enough to even posture like I would just start shooting without being in danger. The guy on his boat gives gun owners a bad name. Truth be told the guy would squat and pee down his leg if ever called out on anything so he postures and blows hard to make himself feel like a big man.
