... Law of Self Defense Post of the Day, which involves the use of booby traps in defense of property ...

Paywalled after 3 days.

Yes, not allowed by law. Does not distinguish between a burglar and a fireman.

Deadly force not allowed in protection of property, except in Texas he points out. (at night)

He shows why barbed wire is ok.

Deadly force inside a home is protection of persons, not property.

Not experienced with guns. Frustrated by robberies at his home and lack of help from authorities, set up booby traps in his home.

Was killed by the one at the front door. Bomb squad had to be called to clear the house.

Probably never a good idea. I also thought illegal in most places.
