The bold part - I dont understand. You meant you gave warning to the trepassers and then you got warned and jail+fine?
My previous groundskeep had a firearm. Specifically for deterring wild animal (we have families of wild boars and boa constrictors typically 2m long, etc) some things happened and for some reason, shots were fired into the air. But not in the hands of groundskeep's hand, it's from ANOTHER person in the scuffle.
Suffice to say the lawyer fought tooth and nail and lengthy court time for half a year (this is mid 2023 to 2024. Lengthy process). And since the weapon is tied to the farmland rather than the person, I was the legal successor to handle it since im the farmsteader.
So I swag around my farmland with it slung behind my back, never used it. Never loaded, Never primed. But it was on my back. Some days, some rando druggies come and despite our warning on trespassing AND electrical fence, they overcome those (they literally PUT selimut on the fences, weigh it down and climb over), and these druggies bring weapons. Machete and such.
I was at the front of the conflict. I had the weapon on my back. No punches or brawls, just heated argument and 'mak kau hijau' and 'induk kau janek' kind of insults when finally the police + civil defense come. Remarkably the druggies were let go with stern warning and I get detained instead.
in my OWN farm, in which I did NOTHING. I WAS 'guilty'. Why? Because the firearm happened to be on my back.
So it ended with more time wasted on court and the firearm confiscated, and now and then I have issue with one of the rookie members whenever we meet at nearby town just because of that incident.
According to an insider from my family lawyer, just because of prior court issue before o gained the firearm they already flag it internally and keep record of any incident. So when it's time even at the slimmest of opportunity, some of these police branches would actively confiscate it to make things easy for their paperwork.
Edit: fixing some sentence. It was a long day

Edit edit: fixing some more. Bear with me, sirs.
