Re: "as long as I can shoot anyone as soon as they step on my property. Gonna be a lot of people out there stealing to satisfy their drug needs." What? (You do realize, don't you?, that a regulated legalized market --- for example what we see today in both tobacco and alcohol markets --- results in lowered incentives for any disruptive/illegal behaviors, right? Not to mention tax revenues going to society instead of illegal drug barons.)

Just as long as you don't use illegal bait or hunt on sanctuary lands, such as : Welfare buildings, liquor stores, 7/11s and concerts or laser lights shows.

So it's OK to steal from you if it's not for drugs? Since the drugs would cost much less there would be much less they needed to steal. How many people steal to buy their cigarettes? Those people are addicts. Why would folks be under the impression that any other drug would be different? They ain't out to steal .. they're out to get high. Shooting them does indeed seem to work to keep them away .. Making it so they can afford their hobbies works also.
