[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 5151204, member: 7419"] Be careful. I agree. If you catch someone you should be able to hold them until the police get there. Unfortunately the law disagrees (I think). I had a guy get in my shooting house last year with a compound bow. I would think you would need a Xbow, but to each their own. He even told my neighbor who went down to see why a vehicle was parked along side the driveway that accesses his and my land, that he had permission to be there. My neighbor text me and I went out there. When I confirmed that he was still there, I called the law. Of course about 10 minutes later, cops still weren't there and here he comes. I blocked the driveway and got out of my truck. I had an AR but never pointed it in his direction. He starts driving up to me slowly, and I am holding my hand up to stop, as I didn't want him to get within pistol range if he had one. Cop pulls in and I put the AR in the truck. He pulls up and what do you think the first thing he said is.... "I'm here let me get this trespasser for you".. NOPE. He starts in with "you can't pull a gun on someone for trespassing". I told him I never pulled anything it was on my sling pointed at the ground. He then said, "that is how people get shot." Then he told me [B]if you have a trespasser and they want to leave, let them leave[/B].... WHY? what is the point of the law. He then, told me the guy was a known idiot and does this stuff all the time... so what does he do? He tells me I can go and he will handle it. I didn't want him starting in on me over the gun, so I left. I call in to see if there was a report a couple of days later, and he advises me he gave him a warning and if it happens again he will be prosecuted. He said, that a warning on first offense is the way Rutherford county handles it. So nothing came of it, but I don't think this idiot has come back since. [/QUOTE]
