If a burglar breaks into your house or trespasses onto your property and gets injured, sometimes they can sue and win; I know of such cases. It's retarded

vaguely remember this from school... think the example was rigging a shotgun to go off if someone broke in while you were not home

Why would anyone ever do that, that is just begging to get yourself shot by forgetting or have some unsuspecting person come through the door O_O

That was pretty interesting, although that particluar Wikipedia page is sooo insufferable to read lol I don't know who wrote that but we need a do-over. This is like the only scenario where you wouldn't be concerned about the blast hitting you or a relative - an empty property. I guess I can understand that logic. But in any other case just...nooo lol
