Heck...already had Homeland Security called on me...when in Fla....10yrs ago....I quit drinking the 'Kool Aid' for quite a Few yrs now....so, mine might be Comparable........tho I have learned to not discuss such things....because most don't Know that the 'Left and Right Wings' are on the 'Same Bird'.....

Hey @Latestarter isn't politics on the "don't go there" list on this site?
Just sayin'

I think I agree with most people on here politically but one of my favorite things about this site is that I can come here and it's the only place i know I won't have to talk politics! Not saying anyone has gone there... I don't mind comments about overbearing gov't. Think we can all agree on that.

I was really just joking around... about starting a thread

We had a teenage (creepy, druggy, teenage boy) that kept on and kept on riding his gator on our property. I and my younger siblings frequently like walking through the woods with our dogs (staying on our own property, or course) and it was very unsettling for my parents that they had kids under the age of 13 walking around with creepy teenagers trespassing. We put up a gate and signs and my dad had a serious talk with the parents. Haven't had a problem since.

Here we can get farm insurance that covers you for liabilty...we went one extra step and filed our farm as an LLC as well. So now we cant be sued directly for farm accidents unless we have some serious purposeful neglect going on. Part of the requirements is you have to have no trespassing signs posted though and its a bonus if you have perimeter fencing...cause its really hard to say they didnt know they were on private property when they have to scale a fence to get on it.

Yeah, the whole reason for the farm liability insurance...to make sure the disrespectful think they own everything idiots, can't destroy what you have worked your butt off for; or parents that want to blame you because their kids are on your property without permission....doing what they have no business doing. We carry a 2 million dollar policy now, not much more than the million dollar one, but in this age of "SUE CRAZY" lawyers....

Everyone here has Guns and can be heard target practicing regularly....so, doesn't seem to be an issue here.

Same here, but it is a double edged sword. Thieves automatically know there are expensive firearms stored somewhere in the abode, and just by observation for a few days, will know when no one is at home. As my father told me when I was very young "People that would never steal anything else, will often steal a rifle or handgun".

So true, they will look for the firearms. And most farmers keep them handy cuz you might need them in a hurry (coyote in the field...) so there is often at least one or two that isn't locked up...
