keep out

How much trouble will I get into for shooting the trespassers with rubber buck shots? It is non lethal, I would think as long as no one dies discharge of a firearm in city limits would be my only crime.

Well, let's see. Assuming this is a serious question...

Number one, you could get killed. If the person you shot or shot at was carrying a gun and decided to shoot back, that is. I don't know your local law, but it might even be legal for anyone you shot at to shoot back and claim self defense, since you shot first.

And when the police did show up, you'd almost certainly get arrested for ADW at a minimum, and probably a laundry list of other charges too.

Then there's that thing about "non lethal." There ain't no such thing. ANYTHING fired out of a shotgun can be lethal, including rubber buckshot. You might be getting arrested for murder, not just ADW.

And even if you didn't kill somebody but managed to do some permanent damage with your "non lethal" rubber buckshot, like putting out an eye or permanently destroying some other delicate body part, then you'd probably get so sued you'd never recover from it, especially after the local legal system got through with you.

So, I'd say you could get into a LOT of trouble. Wouldn't you??

I think the true term of these projectiles also leaves you hung out to dry...

Less Lethal doesn't say a thing about "safe" or "harmless" it just says it "may not" kill the person on the loud end of the gun...

Come on now. This is a Troll. Only has one post to his name and asks a question like that? If it's not a Troll, god help up that he owns guns at all.

Or maybe just an Anti trying to see what reactions us "guns nuts" could come up with..........
 
This actually hits close to home for me. This past year I had the same problem with a bunch of High School kids. They would walk through my yard or ride their bikes…and not just one or two kid’s actual groups of 10-20 of them. They were extremely loud, would tear up my lawn, leave trash all over the place, and sometimes move things around if no one was home. That might not sound like much but it was extremely frustrating and I am leaving out a lot of detail! There kids were bad… At first I would walk outside and politely ask them to please find another way to and from school and give my reasoning. I think I asked them politely more then 15 or 20 times…each time I would ask they would get a little more unruly, extremely vulgar, and threatening and each time that would happen I would become a little more upset and angry as well. Anyhow, I put up private property signs, no trespassing, spoke with local law enforcement, and nothing worked. So believe me I can understand your situation…I was not afraid of them and I did not want to harm them I just wanted them not to walk on or trash my property. So I became a nuisance to them…everyday I would leave work early go home and play with my dogs in my yard (my dogs are protection trained and very obedient on and off leash) not only would I play with my dogs in my yard, I took over all of the neighbors yards as well. Shortly there after some of the kids showed up with their parents saying “I threatened to sick my dogs on them” which I did not do! I had a lovely talk :D with the parents that ended with all of them getting scolded and slapped around a little (by their parents of course).
I ended up fencing off my property anyway after the problem was solved. I never threatened them in anyway; I just made my presence known as an adult and authority figure. If that had not worked…I would have installed a sprinkler system and pestered them that way or put up the fence as I did anyway. No matter how angry you get…resorting to violence is not the answer. Less then lethal force can still be deadly...and it is still force. Installing a sprinkler system or fence is an easy fix and will increase the value of your home anyway, and both are great ideas…
I just wanted to share my story. I hope it helps a little.
