NiteRunner Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 The trespasser thread had me thinking... We've had a few people trespass last year. And actually they walked right past me and basically laughed at me and said they could be where ever they wanted. I hunt some by myself and while I have my bow or gun with me, I also carry Mace. If something were to happen like that again and I felt threatened by the trespassers and I used my mace, would I get in trouble for that? I'm just wondering really, I would rather pull out the cell and call the law, but they can't always arrive on time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubledrop Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 The problem we have is everybody is from out of town so the odds are we probably will not see them again, that is why they do not care where they go or who they come across. They are not going to stop for anybody until they are actually stopped by the warden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyohunter Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 it would depend on ....if i was hunting someone elses land, i would get there license plate number, call or talk to the land owner, and let them deal with it..... if it was on my own land..... i might have to kneecap one of them...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dance.and.shoot Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Mace is non-leathal and I can't imagine you getting in trouble for it...you're protecting yourself and your property. I always have mace on me...whether it's to go to church, the store, or clubbing. I've never had a problem carrying it (okay, i take that back...DON'T take mace into a courthouse...they don't like that....) I really can't imagine you getting in trouble for having and using mace...it's not like you need a license to carry mace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 If you felt threatened, then no you would not be in the wrong. It would classify as self defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiteRunner Posted November 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 That makes me feel better. You just never know when or how you'll be using it so I knew I could rely on RT here for answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bghunter777 Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Speaking from 23 years law enforcement experience - DO NOT USE MACE OR ANY OTHER CHEMICAL IRRITANT ON A PERSON WHO IS CARRYING A GUN!!!!!!! YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE SHOT OR SHOT AT!!!!! Get bear mace that will slow them down! Actually this makes sense i wouldnt mace someone with a gun! its like taking a knife to a gun fight. Even if you have a gun you do not want to go down that road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Check the Pepper Spray Laws in Your Area. Pepper spray laws can be different in different areas. Some states regulate or forbid tear gas, or some may allow cities to make their own assorted laws regarding tear gas. Many countries, including Canada, also forbid tear gas. For this reason, it's a good idea to call the law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over your destination before you bring pepper spray there. Pepper Spray is legal in all 50 states. However, possession and/or use may be regulated or prohibited by law in some jurisdictions. Check with your local police department. Here's a good link to check out ... http://www.safetyprotectionfirst.com/pepperspraylaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Brother kicked two off my property down by the creek. They just thought they would help themselves to the beaver on my land. Didnt know where the property lines was?? My brother was already trapping this colony. They had 4 or 5 traps set late Sat and were in standing on the beaver house setting traps ...which is illegal to do. They wont be back.

joeaveragehunter Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 If they have a gun, just call the cops, if not, consider the mace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
