Let's say they just walk on your lawn, or come close to your house. Can you say you feared for your life and shoot to kill?

Allowed or not, I'll offer trespassers one verbal warning and one warning shot.

If they aren't leaving after that I'll be forced to consider them a threat to my life, my family, and my property.

If someone has broken into my home, I'll shoot to kill without saying anything.

It's different in every state but you have to prove they were trying to kill you. You can't invite your enemy to a bbq and then murder them

Pretty much covers it. You will probably get arrested. You will be going to court and proving that you felt your life was in imminent danger.

I put your post through an internet tough guy translator and it says that you would shit your pants then cry then call the police if someone even accidentally stepped on your property.


Nothing tough about living in fear.

The closest police department is ~40 miles away, whatever is going to happen will be over before they get here. I also believe they're more likely to kill me than they are to help me.

And, you can't accidentally hop a fence.

There will be an investigation regardless.

If there's anything remotely questionable, you will be charged.

That's kind of hard to believe tbh.
