Where can I find some to the point nasty no trespassing signs? We are
getting prowlers and burglaries during the daytime at very rural properties.

I hope word has gotten out that I'm a crazy ole man who shoots real bullets,
but I had a daytime prowler last Saturday.

Saw a sign that read " I STAY UP THREE NIGHTS A WEEK WITH A 12 GUAGE
SHOTGUN GUARDING MY PROPERTY...YOU GUESS THE NIGHT!" thought that was
entertaining and to the point... Jim

Not to be argumentative, because I don't want to **** off a crazy ole
man who shoots real bullets, but I have an observation and a question:

The question is, can you please define "daytime prowler?" It seems to me
that "prowling" is a big huge nebulous concept that's open to wide
interpretation and significance.

And the observation is, burglars don't respect signs.

I don't know, but in NYC I used to see "Don't even think of parking

That's probably not nasty enough.

You can have your own printed up pretty cheaply these days. Get
creative. My favorite was a little note on the front door of a camp
in the boonies of Schoharie Co, NY in 1973 or so.

"The good folk of Schoharie County cleaned me out in 1968, so you'll
find little of value in this trailer. There are no guns, no liquor,
no TV & no cash. The only thing of value in this trailer is my size
54 Trench coat hanging in the hall closet. If I find you in my trench
coat, I'll bury you in it."

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.' "

Hmm, sign with "mind the big pit full of spikes" printed in tiny letters
- and in front of it, a big covered pit full of spikes?

Heard several tales from neighbors that the old dear who used to own our
place would to come out onto the porch and shoot at approaching salesmen -
although I don't think she wasted her time with actually warning them
first...

I had a friend in Hawaii who had a vacation place on another island.
Prominent on the vacation place porch was a hefty chain with a broken dog

Some years ago in East Hampton the cops left a cop car parked on the
side of a back road which was a favorite quick way into town and the
cops wanted to make the people slow down. An empty car can be seen
from some distance, so they left a dummy in a uniform in the driver's
seat so people would be extry afeared.

Then one day the dummy was stolen! I still laugh when I think about

You think so? Average response time in Dallas, Texas for a Priority 1 police
call is 7 minutes. Must burglars are in and out in 5. A burglar alarm is NOT a
Priority 1 call. 20 minutes, maybe? They'll be there in time to take the
burglary report. -- Doug

I think it is better than just a homemade sign. My security system is
so loud it will make you vomit before you find it. Anyone who trips it
is going to consider a softer target.
I do agree about the police response time.

I think that is the point of those signs.

A notice that leaves nothing open to interpretation.

If someone reads the sign and ignores it then that person is of
your later observation (ie. burlar) because burglars are the
ones who ignore the sign. So, now the burglar and the property
owner are in agreement as to the persuasion of the would be
intruder.

Several comments:

I've always wanted to have some signs printed up saying "Trespassers
will be eaten."

On the serious side:

In many (most) areas of the U.S., the Castle Doctrine only applies to
the inside of your house/trailer/car, not all of your property.

In many areas, you can legally shoot someone trespassing on your
property, but ONLY if you have very specifically worded signs at
minimum intervals around your property. Using your creatively worded
signs won't cut it legally.

I knew some of the comments were in jest, but for anyone who might not
know, in most of the U.S. at least any kind of intentional booby trap
is illegal even if no one has any legal reason to be there. And they
are certainly the definition of "premeditation" if that turns out to
be important.

An old man calls the cops and tells them someone is trying to get into
his shed. Cops say they are very busy and since no one is trying to get
into his house turn on a bunch of lights and lock all doors.
Old man waits five minutes and calls back. Tells cops there is no hurry
since he just shot the SOB. Hangs up. THREE minutes later first sirens
followed by multiple cop cars and an ambulance. Cops can't find anyone.
Where is the bad guy? Old man says "I thought you were very busy".

And even then, be careful. When presented to a jury, there's a difference
between "Teflon-Coated Black Rhino Atomic-Devestator Fulminating
Fragmentation Exploding Shells" and "Glaser Safty Ammunition." (The latter
is a real bullet. It is "frangible" in that it disintegrates into dozens of
pieces when it hits flesh, er, the target, thereby preventing ricochetes and
over-penetration.)

"Yes, I used Glaser in my self-defense weapon because I didn't want my
bullet to go completely through the horrid, horrid man who was terrorizing
my family and continue through the wall and into the house next door and
perhaps injuring an innocent baby asleep in its crib, secure in the
knowledge that he was loved and protected by doting parents..."

Yes. The sign should be in letters at least 1/2" tall against a contrasting
background with identical wording in Spanish. It wouldn't hurt to have a red
caption, in letter two or more inches in height, saying "Nota Bene."

Use of deadly force against a simple trespasser alone is never justified.

Use of booby traps is universally condemned and considered illegal
everywhere. There are any number of people who can lawfully enter your
property without your knowledge and even against your wishes.

* A peace officer with a warrant,
* Fireman, paramedic, animal control officer, or anyone else under exigent
circumstances,
* A child who has no criminal capability,
* A simple civil trespasser,
* Meter reader, postman, delivery service, and the like
* And maybe a hundred other classifications.

BIG red letters: "Be aware of Invisibility"

Or, "You are NOW in range" (target symbol in the center of the "O")

So, did you have a talk with this prowler and that is how word got

I've always wanted to have some signs printed up saying "Trespassers
will be eaten."

On the serious side:

In many (most) areas of the U.S., the Castle Doctrine only applies to
the inside of your house/trailer/car, not all of your property.

In many areas, you can legally shoot someone trespassing on your
property, but ONLY if you have very specifically worded signs at
minimum intervals around your property. Using your creatively worded
signs won't cut it legally.

I knew some of the comments were in jest, but for anyone who might not
know, in most of the U.S. at least any kind of intentional booby trap
is illegal even if no one has any legal reason to be there. And they
are certainly the definition of "premeditation" if that turns out to
be important.


An old man calls the cops and tells them someone is trying to get into his
shed. Cops say they are very busy and since no one is trying to get into
his house turn on a bunch of lights and lock all doors.
Old man waits five minutes and calls back. Tells cops there is no hurry
since he just shot the SOB. Hangs up. THREE minutes later first sirens
followed by multiple cop cars and an ambulance. Cops can't find anyone.
Where is the bad guy? Old man says "I thought you were very busy".

Use of deadly force against a simple trespasser alone is never justified.


You should read a little about Joe Horn. I wish I had him for a
neighbor.

Robbery, Breaking and Entering, or whatever the perpetrators would have
been charged with if they had lived is *not* an offense punishable by death.

I find it difficult to believe that even if the *cops* had been called
and had witnessed the break-in or saw the perps exiting the building
carrying the loot, they would have shot to kill.

Think TEXAS!

Joe Horn solved an Immigration problem at the same time AND those shot
were not even on his property.

He told the 911 what he was going to do, and then did it. Good for
him.
