I would be curious what the law regarding this would be as well. I'm sure it doesn't justify murder but shooting at someone trespassing.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Shoot a trespasser and you may as well have shot any other person on the street.  If they aren't threatening you directly or in your home you're going away for a long time.  People go away when they shoot someone in their home if it's determined they weren't really a threat and you had alternatives to avoid the shooting.  You're life better be in immediate jeopardy if you are going to shoot someone.

 :yeah:

Yep, You have to show that you reasonably expected grave bodily injury or death of yourself or someone else for it to be justified.

Condolences to the family of the slain hunter. RIP.

I was wondering more along the lines of a warning shot. I am curious how that looks.

Shooting someone for a property crime with nothing else to justify the use of lethal force would be manslaughter at the least and possibly murder.

Warning shots are no bueno.  It would be considered either assault and/or possibly attempted murder.

Let me back and clarify this.  For the purpose of trespassing, warning shots would likely be no bueno.  You CAN fire warning shots without legal recourse, but honestly at that point you could probably legally use lethal force so why bother?

 :bash: My Buddy's dad was sitting under a tree watching and some one shot a round feet above his head. He thinks it came from a house next to the property they have permission on. Some people are crazy about the land even if its not theirs. He went over the man's house but the guy wouldn't admit to it nor denied it.
