That could easily be taken as threatening. What were you going to do with the gun? You can't use Deadly Force to prevent trespassing.
You handled this poorly.
+1 to you
You handled it well. you saw the potential for a threat/confrontation and already had men on your property potentially illegally who were being belligerent. Retrieving your weapon to be armed in the event that it was actually needed was the right thing to do IMO.
It's not like you were waving it at them and what you did resolved the situation. In essence, you did "make them."
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
I would have done the same, but if the situation had allowed perhaps I would have gotten a shotgun and a refreshment and walked out on my back patio to watch the men at work. Nothing wrong with a little tea and a long gun.
30.06 and a waffle?
3030 and a crepe?
AK and a pancake?
