Good to know. How about non-lethal? (Say, something that might break a few bones but you'll recover.)

- rdouble 16y agoAnything that can maim is legally "lethal force." There are legally defensible reasons for breaking into someone else's property. For example, if someone thinks there is someone incapacitated inside, or if someone is running from danger and needs to hide. Finally, it's not really a booby trap if you're inside deciding which visitors get blasted.
- tghw 16y agoNo. I can't find it right now, but there was a burglar who successfully sued a guy who set up some sort of electrical booby-trap. He survived, but injured, and IIRC, won the suit.
