No. No. No.
Everything else but the gun.
Their wrong is that they aren’t asking nicely enough.
Those signs better be in 44 different languages.
Squatters will ignore the sign just like they ignore most other laws.
What New York needs to do is call Gov. DeSantis of Florida and ask him for a copy of the law passed a few days ago outlawing squatters.
I doubt signs will deter these people. They we’ll tear the sign down and claim they didn’t see the sign. Florida has now passed an anti squatter law. Gee why don’t other states? Well because blue state Democrats think criminals need more rights than law abiding citizens.
This actually has some legal validity where I’ve lived. A property owner has a “duty to warn” potential trespassers, without which it is almost impossible to prosecute them.
Is that the new system? You must personally affirm a crime to be a crime, put warning labels on yourself and your property, if you want the protection of the law.
Opt in or the law is not for you.
The sign on my front door reads “This home is protected by God and a gun. Come in uninvited and you will meet both.”
That’s funny. They have no problem breaking the law to steal your stuff, but they’ll pay serious attention to a SIGN.
The signs will be every bit as effective a covid masks.
“This is a house where a gun lives. For more information, crawl through a window after dark.”
Yep, double “00” buck in a 10 round AR-12 mag would do wonders on clearing squatters.
This website is a company that sells various types of signage; the listing is No trespassing laws and signage for each state.

Forget about the “No Trespassing” sign … and go right to the “Home for Sale” sign.
Hey, I live in Florida.
Should we tell those snowbirds to hurry back home to protect their houses from squatters?
It’d be great if they could leave so the traffic around here can be a bit better. Thanks to DeSantis’s Anti-Squatter bill, our homes in Florida are protected.
Most of these snowbirds come from the blue states up north. A lot of them have even moved here permanently from those blue states to Florida, Texas, and other red states, leaving their homes back there empty. If squatters take over those homes, it’ll make it easier for people to vote illegally. Plus, it’ll affect the next census.
I’ve been teaching computer secruity since the 1990s.
One of the major early issues of hacking involved the legal term “trespass”. In olden times, before cars and highways, people walked or road a horse to get from one place to another. If you had a wagon and wanted to take a nice road, well, some people put up toll roads. You could still walk on the traditional paths and trails that cut through various lands, farms, etc. So they made trespass laws that required the land owner to post on signs that you couldn’t go through a particular area or trail any longer. In other words, you had to post (put on a stick) a sign that said “No Trespassing” or similar message. Otherwise, the person walking through would just be following precedent from those days. In fact, you’ll find the legal requirement to post no trespassing laws mostly in the East, where people have walked around for a long time before modern transportation, and the West, which is newer and was less thickly settled.
When computers came out, some smart lawyers argued that you couldn’t say a hacker was “trespassing” your system unless you posted it. This let off many hackers from charges back then (late 80s/early 90s). To that end, industry associations and then the government made it mandatory to login; have computer warning/trespassing notices at login; and post policies about the same.
So the requirement to post No Trespassing is indeed the law or policy in many places.
Keep voting Democrat NY.
In Illinois. There is basically no such thing as trespassing.
Cops can’t or won’t do anything.
A family member came home to find underage friends of his son drinking his booze and smoking pot.
Called the cops, cops would do anything and almost got arrested himself when arguing to the cops to kick the underage kids out of his house.
And yes, he had No Trespassing signs up.
the homeowners need to sue the squatters for millions
We have had no trespassing signs on our house front and back for years and we have them all over our rural property.
