I don’t know anything about NY state laws but I don’t think you can just shoot anyone who is on your property but outside the house. I remember one incident when a friend of mine woke up in the middle of the night and there was a drunk man wandering around his backyard. He just called the police and they hauled him off.
“He just called the police and they hauled him off.”
How long was the response time?
In our neck of the woods “RonDellumsvill” the guy would have been clean and sober before the response!
