Taking matters into their own hands

I don't know about this. Maybe a litte harsh, but it sure will stop the crime.

That's fine, they're the ones who are stealing in the first place.
They'll think twice after a few of them are gunned down.

It's tresspassing/theft..they're much easier to catch when they're not moving...

I don't know if I agree completely, but it definitely should reduce crime..

After a few of them get shot, it'll pobably deture others

I think its an "ok" short term thing...but if its allowed for too long then it could turn into a way for people to easily get killed.
No doubt people will start using the "he was stealing so I killed him" excuse if the guy wasn't really stealing but they didn't like em.

That's what I was thinking. It might get out of hand. Still, kinda humorous and straightforward way to end the problem though.

I was in Mexico over spring break last year and I snuck into a guys fields to go "cow tipping." I don't think guns are legal in Mexico though....

Why the hell not? You shouldn't steal in the first place.

This is a very bad idea. You have to remember that this will work bothways; If I was your average thief, I normally wouldn't go as far as killing people, but if I'm discovered and the property owner is trying to shoot me down, I wouldn't hesitate to kill him first. Taking the risk of having your crime discovered - and even then still having a chance to get away with it - definately beats getting killed.

If they are stupid enough to break the law, shoot them.

BABIES EVERYWHERE!!!

it's not that simple, you don't just kill someone because they did something wrong. like flexor said, a thief will be ready to shoot first because they know if they get caught they 'll probably die. i'd shoot first in that situation too. then you'll have a worse situation with innocent people dying and the economy slowing down even more because the number of farmers slowly drops.

also, for some people it isnt a matter of stupidity, but necessity. poor people who dont have the money to buy food can have starving kids too. haven't you guys ever seen aladdin?!

Shut up. I'm GOING to do this whether you like it or not.

Like Duo Maxwell said, it's not a long-term solution.

There is no spoon.

Reminds me of a situation in England a few years back. Two burglars broke into a secluded farmhouse, the farmer shot at them with a shotgun, killed one of them (a teenager) and wounded the other. He got banged up for manslaughter, I think, in the end, rather than murder.
