This has come up at our house, we have 8 acres on the outskirtd of Duluth, a 6 car garage and an over amount of woodworking and restoration tools. We have been robbed twice, total amount taken was over 10K. In talking to the squads, I stated I have a 9mm Glock, 22 Ruger, each having 22 rd clips ( Not legal),,but if someone enters my home, I stated I would blow there knees off,,,WRONG,,they said shoot to kill, if they live,,they could end up with my property,,,also, if they are in motion leaving the property with my things, I can not use a gun, if there back is turned to me,,Minnesota Law..I have 3 Labs, one is very protective, will take a person that enters my house or the garage-shop. In Minnesota I must post a sign that says,,,(Guard Dog on Duty),,if not I can be held responsibile for all medical plus compensation. This is crap, but the legal beagels have screwed our system up so bad, that most have nots can enter our property and if leaving ,,we only can call the police, regardless if they assault me or my wife, I can not shoot them or protect my property,,fricking lawyers,,I am a proud teacher, but those in law have disgraced the blue collar worker,,,so I will not change my position,,I worked to damn hard.
