I hope word has gotten out that I'm a crazy ole man who shoots real

The problem (rare) with witty signs is that they may come back to bite you,
especially when viewed in a different context (such as your trial for
manslaughter).

Prosecution: "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you have seen ample evidence
of premeditation on the part of the defendant. He freely admits to erecting
signs on his property 'Warning, trespassers will be shot!' He then hid, like
a spider, biding his time, until a child or fireman or innocent traveler
entered his property so he could kill them with assumed impunity... You need
to send a message to the would-be vigilantes in our community that taking
the law into their own hands will not be tolerated!..."

Perhaps a better sign would simply be a recitation of the 'Castle Doctrine'
law - sometimes known as the 'Make My Day' law - in your jurisdiction (if
you have such a law):

"Warning! State law allows the owner of this property to presume harmful
intent on the part of intruders. Such threats may be met, under law, by the
use of deadly force. Any resulting death will automatically be ruled a
'Justifiable Homicide.' "



NRA recommends not using reloads for self defense for same reason.
Prosecution will argue that you made reloads to kill people.
You should buy commercial ammo to kill people
