Love the idea, but one of the first cases I learned in Torts class back in law school was that someone that booby traps their property is liable for damages. Someone in Iowa trapped their place, and a burglar got his foot shot. The owner lost in court.

I didn't like the case, but I have to give fair warning. Disclaimer - This is not legal advice, but just facts from a previous case.
