Just for being there...careful where u try that defense for murder or manslaughter
You have obviously never been to a hunting club in Mississippi
10,000 acres no trespassing everywhere
I can assure you nobody just kills anyone trespassing
Thats crazy man
Ive got acreage where I live...I dont shoot folks I dont know on my land
Of course not. Everyone should absolutely exercise compassion, common sense, and prudence. The point is, the right “if needed” should go without question on private property. None of this “but it wasn’t inside the house” stuff. This socialist mentality that everything is public property with unrestricted public access would stop.
I have acreage with a LOT of trespassing happening and have never shot anyone. But 5 times I had to brandish as a deterrent over the years, which is a crime it’s self even on private property in most places. I feel that I should have the right to pull the trigger if I had to without being the one in the wrong.
Yeh, I don’t see things like a lot of people on this site. You can’t blow someone away for hunting or picknicking or whatever on your land.
He should have called the police. It is different with a burglary or certainly a robbery or rape where you have reason to fear for your safety.
It will probably be two counts of manslaughter.
