I’m fairly certain it is legal to shoot people on your property just for being on your property in some states.

I don’t know about finding somebody and “protecting” your property somewhere else.

I think you’re spreading misinformation. I hope it’s not intentional.

There is not a single state in the US where it is legal to shoot someone just for being on your property.

It does seem like there are a number of states in which deadly force is permitted in the circumstances of trespassing
