Yeah but it doesn't mean you can shoot anyone entering your estate dead just like that right?

would have shot below the knees. It is a deterrent to others.

Shooting to kill is not ideal. But i understand the frustration of property owners. I myself am one in country sri lanka and its ridiculous the amount of trespassers that come through as if it's a part of our culture to just cross and trespass properties as they please. Maybe shoot them in the knee cap next time? Lol
