Excuse the double post, but I also think a lot of crime could be solved by making self-defense heavily protected and allowing people a lot of leeway to set up booby traps. Most criminals aren't nearly clever enough to bypass booby traps. Although there would need to be a way to indicate and/or disarm booby traps for emergency personnel.
I just deleted a huge rant about how private property owners should have absolute sovereignty on their land, including booby traps and lethal force. The word "trespassing" should instill instinctual, reactive fear in everyone and avoiding it at all costs should be a cultural and legal assumption.

Because of you, I'm now hearing that word as spoken by Keith David when he voiced Goliath the gargoyle.
"You are trespassing."
This needs to become the new 'Beware of Dog' sign.
