Didn't think of that I will find out about those tomorrow

That would not be a bad idea either as long as the law doesn't consider it a trap

Thanks also to Hippi3Slay3r for mentioning that Taurus. When I'm of age, I just might look into the Judge, or its next version if Taurus expands on it at all.

A well-informed citizen is a well-armed citizen, and vice-versa.

If you are really considering the expense of an electric fence? Why not just hire Wackenhut to put a guy on a stool with a .45 in you MIL's yard?

Electric bull fence top wires only run about $100, but no that is not an option we were considering. However the wackenhut idea isn't bad either :hm

Mine field might get the cats but flame thrower is still on the table

One thing to keep in mind about a firearm. In many cases it winds up being used against the owner, they hesitate to use it or do not know how to use it thus allowing the attacker to get to close. I reccomend pepper spray, I carry sabre brand which also has a uv dye and tear gas. Someone also said the stuff from fox labs, I do not have first hand experience with this brand, but I purchased the fox labs mean green. This stuff has an actual green dye that will make identification possible for a couple days. Pepper spray is cheap, but you still have to know it and understand it (be on the right side of the wind, how to work the safety and the distance of the spray).

If your MiL is close enough for a baton/contact stun gun/etc.... it is far too close. Depending on physical abilities of the aggressor and the victim, within 21 feet is the danger zone, and that is less than you think. Use the police and the justice system for every possible transgression to build a case, even the little stuff, it could help them in the future as being a "reluctant participant" should any violence take place. De-escalation of any possible situation would be the proper action, even if it hampers your families quality of life for a short time, because the alternatives, if this neighbor is mentally unstable, are not acceptable.

Actually, that is the old standard used by law enforcement....35 feet is the accepted standard today.
