I have told there is a town in Texas (?) where it is mandatory for all allowable residents to carry a gun at all times, they are given instruction on it's use etc. The street gun crime rate is almost non-existent. Gun toting criminals have found out the hard way, to go somewhere else.\nSensible use of guns should be applauded.\nTake this scenario\nGuy pulls gun on couple walking back from theatre, he hears from all around him, "hold it one moment sucker" and finds that maybe 20 people have pulled their guns and pointing them at him, at the same time due to their training the couple have dropped to the ground and have their own guns out.... not a very auspicious moment for the mugger.\n\nI am not advocating the carrying of guns without due training, that is like giving a 10 year old the keys to a Porche... crazy.....

YES!  Absolutely.   Shoot first, ask questions later....okay, be sure you know it's NOT someone you know....\n\nMy shotgun is 5 steps away in the closet...plus I have a baseball bat by the bed....I've been up in the middle of the night with one of them in hand to check on noises....usually nothing though...

Yes, I like the idea of using the shotgun. I would advise aiming for the face and maybe another shot to the chest. The memories will last longer. peace.

If the 'responsible' thing doesn't work, arrange to have yourself kidnapped. After a few days, you call home from a payphone (collect) and yell at your mom about how you could have called her DAYS ago if you had a cell phone.\n\nOn second thought, that may be bad advice. I am just a dog, you know.

Turn her in!  No circumstances about it.  If you punched someone you would be charged with assault.  The rules do not change because it's your mother.  In my opinion, it's worse!

Not a good idea. Life's not fair. I know it sucks but sometimes you've just got to accept it and live with it. And I'm sure there are ways to get convicted of a crime just by the way you look. If you had a mask on your head and you were standing at a 7-11 with a gun in your hand I don't think I'd have a problem with convicting you of attempted robbery even if you didn't say a word.

They will send a car to the area and they will drive around and see if they see him.  ( exactly how physcially attacked was she will make the difference)  he was merely threatening her, they will not look as hard.\n\nAnd then alot will depend on what size area you live in,  I actually caught a person in Atlanta that had boke into a car and stole a purse ( a felony)  but the police were so busy with armed robbery and a shooting, they took over an hour to come, I could not hold him for that long, so I had to let him go.\n\nso in atlanta, you would be lucky for them to even come over and take a report

Don't do it man. If she trusted you enough, then she wouldn't be doing this. If you're going to do this, she's got you by the cojones man. Don't do it. You should have some freedom, especially around that area. And what if you break up with that on? She could easily walk away with the key. What are you gonna do then? Go to a locksmith and tell him to get it off? Whatever you do, don't even put that on.

No, it's fair to kill someone who is attempting to kill you. Once the danger passes, it becomes revenge, and revenge is not legally recognized as a justification for a homicide. You'll get more satisfaction out of the life you have left if you press charges for the assault and the theft, and keep a liberal distance from her in the future.

"Is it legal if I shoot this person?"  Trespass.\n\nThe quick answer to your question is "No.  Not at all.  Probably not even if you live in Texas.  And that goes for the 'warning shot' too."\n\nGenerally, discharging a firearm is a potentially lethal action, so let's say you fire a warning shot near the truck-- the trespasser-now-turned-victim can claim you were trying to kill him.  And presto, you are now accused of committing a crime.  And the use of lethal force is generally only acceptable when it's necessary to prevent imminent serious harm or death-- and in some states certain property.  Someone driving through your empty land does not rise to that level unless he's about to run someone over.\n\nPut up a more sturdy gate/fence.  And clearly post "Private Property/No Trespassing" signs.  Then, as one Answer suggests, don't shoot him with a gun, shoot him with a video camera-- and make sure you get the license plate.  Take your video to local law enforcement and see if they will help.  If it really bothers you, you can take that person to court and seek an injunction and even a monetary award if his trespass results in damage.\n\nLastly, depending on where you live, you may be able to legally install tire puncture devices.  But I wouldn't suggest it unless it's your last resort since the owner of the truck could then take YOU to court to recover damages-- even if he didn't have a very good case it still might be more trouble than it's worth.\n\nAlso, I'm assuming from your fact pattern that he's not using an actual roadway.  Private roadways that are without a gate and that have not been posted as being private and that have existed for a lengthy period of time sometimes create an easement that allows the public to use the road-- even where it's on private land.      In cases like that, you can gate the road and post the signs, but members of the public can challenge you in court if there is a long-standing easement there.\n\nAs you can see from the bulk of this answer, shooting someone with a firearm for trespass isn't really a very good option....\n\n[This is not legal advice. You should consult a licensed attorney-at-law for legal advice or representation before making decisions that may affect your legal rights.]

A scary experience.  I was once assaulted on the street but the guy didn't have a gun.  A gun would have been more frightening.  There's no way to know if your neighbor was in on the theft, but he obviously didn't like you, maybe because you're white and he wasn't, if he was treating it like a joke.  A pity.  I hope you can move out of there.

Most definately.You have the right to defend yourself,also shooting is a great sport, and to do well at it requires self discipline and concetration.\nMy choice of gun? Probably something by SIG in.45 and a Colt .380 Super.

I think, THINK, and also at least when I lived in Texas (where else! LOL) that if someone were in your home, you could shoot or stab or whatever and/or kill them, but only if it was in self defense. The reason I think this is that I had heard once that if you killed them on your front porch, you'd better drag them inside, otherwise, it was an issue. HOWEVER, you need to check with your local authorities on that rule - especially if you're having a "serious" problem or issue or fear. I do not know this for a fact.......
