If you clearly display on the edge of your property a sign
saying "any unauthorized entry will result in the use of
pepper spray" then I'd say go for it.

Or of course if they do not leave your property promptly when asked.

If someone refuses to leave your property, you are supposed to call the
police and have them charged with trespassing. If you assault them, you can
be charged unless you can convince the judge that you feared for your
safety.

Or do you live in Texas?

I'm not so sure about that. You can use reasonable force to remove a
trespasser. Pepper spray is non-lethal, it's used by the police for
trivial things. Why not?

If someone flat out refuses to leave your property then remove them. If
you don't want to risk injuring yourself while doing so (maybe they are
a lot larger than you) then incapacitating them somehow would seem like a
good option.

Because they have received training to use it, and if they follow their
training, they (individually & corporately) are protected against
lawsuits for using unreasonable force.


> If someone flat out refuses to leave your property then remove them.

I can give you an actual case that happened to me. I owned property in
New Brunswick while I was living in Ontario. The property had a derelict
house. Potential tenants asked a relative about it, and were told that it
was not really habitable, but they could go in to inspect it (with intent
to come up with an agreement about who would pay to renovate what) and
that I would be down in a few weeks to do a roofing job to discuss it
with them.

When I got there, they had moved in all their stuff, papered and painted,
hooked up the electricity, and called the oil company to estimate the
cost of a new furnace. They claimed that they had a verbal contract to
rent the premises given through my relative acting as my "agent".

I am not sure, but I believe that they were attempting to use an old law
(intended to support long-term live-in hired help on a farm who had
invested in the property) to make it impossible to evict them.

I called the cops and the cops said that since the squatters had
permission to enter the house, I could not charge them with break-enter
or trespassing, and that it would be up to a civil court to determine if
they actually had a verbal rental contract. I would need to take them to
court in order to get an eviction notice, despite the fact that they did
not have a written tenancy agreement.

So, if I had used force to remove someone who flat out refused to leave
my property, I would be the one facing assault charges.


In case you're wondering, they left only after I made it clear to them
that I would not purchase a new furnace, and that they legally could not
install one.

Calling the cops is usually a better idea. A lot depends on the
particulars about why the intruder is there, if he is causing damage, and
what sort of a threat he presents. I am not a lawyer, and I suspect it
depends also on your jurisdiction.

It's a big *if*. Both with tazers and pepper spray.

As far as I knew they didn't get directly sued anyhow, the local
government has to pay out on the lawsuit, the worst they get is losing
their job.

Or jail or course if they are *really really* unlucky, but most of the
time they can do what the hell they like as long as they shout "STOP
RESISTING" enough times to the camera. That is if it doesn't
*malfunction* at a very convenient time.

Understood, but that's a very different situation to someone refusing to
leave your property where you reside. Rather than dealing with
squatters.

I'd have let them but the furnace in with their own money *before* I
got them evicted! :-)

Well yes, it might well be a better option, and that's the option I
would take 99% of the time.

But you should be able to use reasonable force to remove someone from
your property who refuses to leave, if you decide to do so.

Once you've given them amble opportunity to comply with your lawful
request that they leave your property, remove them using whatever force
necessary.

If they don't wish to be removed from the properly forcefully they
should leave themselves!

A mans home is his castle.


If some Jehovah's witnesses came up my path and to my door and asked me
if I'd like to be saved, and I refused and asked them to leave, I'd
expect them to do so.

If they said "No, we're not moving from your door" I'd ask them again to
leave. If they refused I'd have no problem using pepper spray, a tazer
or any other non-lethal force to incapacitate them so I could move them
off my property.

Don't need to. Here's a little recipe for you:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-pepper-spray/

you will need:

1. Chili peppers (as they seem to be the hottest)
2. Black, tabletop pepper, added for coughing effect
3. Water
4. Something to brew the spray in
5. a container for the finished product
6. something to crush the pepper (not pictured)
7. funnel (optional if you dont mind making a huge mess)
8. goggles, safety only, optional

I didn't want them to put equity into my house because unless it is
agreed in writing that I will be the owner. They can later sue me, saying
that I had agreed to pay for it. The previous tenant had put in a lot of
plumbing, and when he left he took all the pipe with him. It's difficult
to manage a rental house from 1000 km away with people you do not trust.

Perhaps you *should*. Put is it legally he case?

You might be dealing with a nutcase or someone on methamphetamine. His
relatives (or estate...) could easily sue you for mistaking such a
condition for stupidity.


> A mans home is his castle.

Depending on your jurisdition, this is somewhere between a romantic
metaphor and a legal fiction. In my city, someone from the civic office
comes by every few years to go through the house to ensure that I have
not made improvements without a permit. There is a by-law that states I
need to let him do so. What kind of a castle is that?

People have died from tazers. It would not surprise me if some people are
violently allergic to pepper spray. My advice to you is to call the cops.
Take it or leave it.

You're claiming that pepper spraying a shitting cultist is "assault." It

If they drag their children with them to the door, it's best to talk
directly to the children, subvert and supplant their programming in the
