So, here goes...Many of the posters on this thread have said on other threads that we need to lessen Government interference and regulations but, at the same time, wanting policies and LE to be there for 'them' to protect their property.
So, are you guys saying that "I only want regulations and enforcement if it affects me"/.
I'm not trying to stir the pot. Only trying to understand your rationale.
Years ago, if it wasn't yours, you asked permission first. If someone said no, that meant no, and if they said yes, you respected any terms that accompanied that yes. If you screwed something up, you did what you needed to make things good. You treated people like you wanted to be treated, handshakes and people's word meant something. You didn't need things like "NO TRESPASSING" signs. There was a line, and if you weren't welcome, you didn't cross over it. Punishments for wrongdoing fit the crime, both at home and in the courtroom.
Back to today. None of my first paragarph seems to apply anymore. Add to that when you take away the ability of people to protect themselves and protect their property from destruction or theft, where do you turn to other than the dysfunctional legal system? Law enforcement really hates dealing with this kind of crap. They'd rather you take civil action rather than press charges, and will tell you to call your insurance company.
I suppose you could always ask the dimwit nicely to stop, maybe talk to pops. That's about all of the power the individual has without seeking legal help or calling the cops. Threats or taking action on your own will only get you in trouble, and prosecuting attorneys seem to love to make public examples of people that take the law into their own hands.

Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
