My neighbor came over to ask me, if I could be a little more quiet
when I come home. Apparently, he doesn't like the sound of my
vehicle coming up the drive, or the garage door opening and
closing. I get home about 3 in the morning, I drive a car with a
quiet muffler, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with my garage
door!

This coming from a guy with a stack of lawnmowers in his back yard,
tarps all over the place, plywood laying around. Basically, he has
a dump! I know one of the neighbors called the city on him.

Besides holding myself back from punching this idiot in the face,
I'm about to join the rest of the neighbors, in an effort to run
this jerk out of town.

What would you do?

Go about your business as usual.

Unless you live in California, or some other state with highly
restrictive gun laws, if he comes over again at 3 AM, draw a weapon
and tell him that if he EVER comes over again, you will shoot him,
kick his sorry ass, pepper spray him, or all three. And mean it.
Immediately call the police and inform them what happened so that
they will not get a call from him shrieking and screaming. When
they come to respond, leave the weapon inside, and calmly explain
what happened.
It's even better if he knocks on the door, and the exchange of
words
happens while you're standing totally inside your house. They will
explain to the idiot that you DO AND DID have the right to shoot
holes in his sorry ass.

If he's on your property, you got him. Just be sure to tell the
policeperson that he has made threats before and you were in fear of
your life. In some states, you can just shoot him.

All a little serious? No. You want to take care of the problem or
dance around it? The police can't/won't do anything. The justice
system can't/won't do anything about it.

Handle it like a man. You're minding your own business on your own
property at three AM and this wack job comes over. That's enough
right there.

I live in rural Utah, previously, Nevada. Concealed weapon laws and
"castle laws" are pretty lenient here when it comes to defending
your home and family from people roaming around YOUR property at 3
AM.

I lived in VT for many years. It is legal to walk down the street
with a loaded gun in a holster anytime. And during hunting season, no
one robs a convenience store. Who would pull a gun on a clerk when 20
people behind you are openly armed?


I have Utah, Nevada and Florida CCF permits. With reciprocity, that
totals a lot of states. Yet, Vermont has the best CCF laws in the US
bar none.


Yea, you don't need a permit.

And it's all based on common sense, something seriously
lacking in today's world.
