LOL.... this is what Russia has right now. There are no civil courts, so any broken contracts are enforced with a gun. There are so many businessmen killed each week in Russia that the police don't even bother to investigate once it becomes clear it is a contract killing. Sound like fun?

I did say "properly". This is exactly the kind of thinking that, according to Adam Smith, requires the institution of governments to protect individual property rights. Physical possession and a gun do not define legal ownership.
