Interesting points dbcisco.

We often forget that when a man trespasses he is at the fault of his trespass. Does not a man know he is doing wrong when he steps accross the line? Absolutely, but he chooses to violate core principles. He thinks his rights outweight the rights of those that he violates (the landowner or lessee) when in actuality he has no right to trespass at all. I am just sick of the laws we have today. When an illegal alien is somehow given some sort of rights because he is illegal? What part of trespassing can we not understand?

I don't use weapons, but would if I need to to protect my family. I would shoot then we can discuss God issues later. Just because someone says that they have a right to defend what they own or lease then others assume they want to murder someone! Not me. A man has a right by law to defend his property. I believe there is a higher law that is obligatory (at least I believe that).

I have read stories of men going to jail because they shot a robber! We are implying that someone broke into their home...a robber. Think about that for a moment. What if the same robber raped your children? Yeah, now it makes a difference don't it? If I trespass on your property and you shoot me who is in the wrong? Now if I accidentally crossed your property and did not know then I am ignorant. It is all about intent isn't it? A man does wrong because he chooses to do wrong. What if the trespassers decides to do more wrong? Maybe he decides next time since he can trespass without any consequences the he can go ahead and steal someones radio.
