Since you don't own your land, this means you have no claim over it, correct? It follows that if people come trampling all over your property, you have no right to complain.
Define "own". There's an old saw: possession is 9/10ths of the law.
Ability to assert dominance seems to be a good definition. What do you think?
Yes, but in our modern society, the 12 gauge gets replaced by your ability to simply call the police, present a deed, and they'll kick the intruder off your land.
However, as soon as law and order goes away, your 12 gauge once again will replace that deed. So, keep them both, the deed and the 12 gauge, and use both as your means of ownership.
Why do you call the cops? Because they have a 12 gauge, and you want them to do your dirty work for you.
I have no problem with subcontracting.
I f****ng hate unions, though.

On June 27, in the case of Castle Rock v. Gonzales, the Supreme Court found that Jessica Gonzales did not have a constitutional right to police protection, even in the presence of a restraining order.
By a vote of 7-to-2, the Supreme Court ruled that Gonzales has no right to sue her local police department for failing to protect her and her children from her estranged husband.
The post-mortem discussion on Gonzales has been fiery but it has missed an obvious point. If the government won't protect you, then you have to take responsibility for your own self-defense and that of your family. The court's ruling is a sad decision, but one that every victim and/or potential victim of violence must note: calling the police is not enough. You must also be ready to defend yourself.
In 1999, Gonzales obtained a restraining order against her estranged husband Simon, which limited his access to their children. On June 22, 1999, Simon abducted their three daughters. Though the Castle Rock police department disputes some of the details of what happened next, the two sides are in basic agreement: After her daughters' abduction, Gonzales repeatedly phoned the police for assistance. Officers visited the home. Believing Simon to be non-violent and, arguably, in compliance with the limited access granted by the restraining order, the police did nothing.
The next morning, Simon committed "suicide by cop." He shot a gun repeatedly through a police station window and was killed by returned fire. The murdered bodies of Leslie, 7, Katheryn, 9 and Rebecca, 10 were found in Simon's pickup truck.
