shooting
i heard that americans can shoot people if they are tresspassing on their property. if its true, i have a few questions:
1.can you shoot someone without warning?
2.what if you are renting the place? you just live there, and you dont own it. can you still shoot someone?
3.what if you are at your freinds house, and youre freinds not in? can you shoot the person trespassing?
thanks a lot. british fella.

Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
There are people that shoot people for various reasons, one being that they're tresspassing.
But it is not at all legal. I mean tresspassers can get arrested but not shot at legally.
And why would you be at your friends house if they're not there??
And so, I'd say not a lot of that goes on. At least not where I live. I have never heard anyone being shot for tresspassing where I live >.>

hey,
no, i'm almost 100% sure this isn't true, even for americans. i think the only reason you'd be able to shoot someone is in like, self defense. and even then, you'd get in trouble, as far as i know.
hope this has helped.

I don't believe this is true. But its quite funny [because I've never heard of such a thing]. Shooting someone anytime [unless you're a policeman or you're in a hostage situation where the only way you can survive is by using self-defense and shooting the one holding you hostage] is illegal. You will go to prison- especially if you kill them.
1. Even if you could shoot someone trespassing- you would probably have to give them warning.
2. If you were renting the place- its not actually yours- so even if you could- you wouldn't be able to shoot a trespasser.
3. No- its still not your property- and again, even if you could- you wouldn't be able to.
Trespassing is punishable by law- especially if there are signs posted like "Private Property- No Trespassing". It results in fines... and shooting someone isn't the punishment =D.

No, that's not true.
At least not where I'm from. But I've never heard it before, and it sounds pretty crazy, even for America :]
