HI LARRY,
I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY AND THIS IS
NOT LEGAL ADVICE BUT I HAVE OBSERVED COURTS BEND OVER BACKWARD TO
COMPENSATE DEAD OR INJURED FELONS WHO ENCOUNTER BOOBY TRAPS IN THE
COURSE OF CRIMES.
A "EAR BURSTING" SUPER LOUD
SIREN/HORN AND/OR SUPER HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTS MIGHT GET BY IF A
RATIONAL OTHER THAN BOOBY TRAP WAS BELIEVEABLE AND YOU NEVER TOLD
ANYONE OTHERWISE.
I HAVE HEARD OF CASES WHERE
JURIES WENT AGAINST SWIVEL GUNS, HANDY POISONED BOTTLES OF WHISKEY,
PUNJI STICKS, ETC. EVEN WHEN WARNING SIGNS NOT TO ENTER WERE WELL
POSTED. ILLEGAL ALIENS IN SOUTH TEXAS ARE GETTING RICH WITH CLAIMS
AGAINST RANCHERS ON ALLEGED INJURIES INCURRED IN THEIR BREAKINS OR
RURAL HOME INVASIONS.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOTICED A LOT
MORE COYOTE CYANIDE GUNS BEING PLACED FOR "PREDATOR" CONTROL OUTSIDE.
FARMERS THAT RAISE CANTALOPE ALSO USE ARRAYS OF HIGH VOLTAGE KNEE LEVEL
WIRE TO KILL MELON BITING COYOTES. NEVER KNOW WHEN A COYOTE MIGHT GO IN
THE YARD? EVERYONE KNOWS THESE ITEMS ARE PART OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND A
RISK OF BEING ON RURAL RANCH OR FARM LAND.
ONCE NEAR DEL RIO I HEARD ABOUT
A HOME WHERE INFORMAL POKER SESSIONS WERE HELD FREQUENTLY THAT HAD TWO
SAFES. THE HARD TO FIND ONE HAD OVER A QUARTER MILLION USD; THE CLASSIC
"BEHIND THE PAINTING" ONE HAD A CYANIDE BOTTLE WITH A BROAD SPRAY
NOZZEL. THE OWNER FIGURED HE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE BROKEN IN AND WAS
READY.
I NEVER COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT HE WOULD DO IF HOME
INVADERS FORCED HIM TO OPEN THE SAFE?
CIAO!
