I've seen signs saying "trespassers will be shot", and never felt the need to test them. The fact that the shooter was doing something illegal doesn't change the possibility that you may no longer be alive.

Unless it's posted on government land this type of warning just tells you that you're in the vicinity of white trash.

Why would you make such an arbitrary distinction between government and "white trash" posting signage that states "Any trespassers will be shot"?

After using any type of force, lethal or otherwise against a trespasser that type of sign would be used against the owner in court to their detriment.

There's a requirement for "no trespassing" signs to be posted around property but the "will be shot" verbiage could be construed as premeditation since non government land owners aren't allowed to kill trespassers merely for the act of trespassing itself. It literally suggests that the property owner is waiting to shoot anyone who trespasses, which isn't kosher.

Trespassing on government land such as a military base could result in the trespasser being shot accidentally or otherwise and there are typically warning signs posted that will say things like "Use of deadly force authorized".

Unless you bring a 6-shooter gun too, then it can be a public wild-west shootout at high-noon like the good old days.
