my property is my property, stay off of it. i have a fence and signs that say as much. if i catch you in my yard, i ask why you're there, once, and i better like the answer, or you're going over the fence, and not feet first. if you resist me, as far as i'm concerned, that's enough reason to use whatever means it takes to get you out of my yard. i know i'm not a normal guy, i do have hand to hand training, and i almost always have at least a knife on me, and just a few feet away i have a handgun. so you're going to get out of my yard, or you're going to kick my ass, no middle ground.
