A person doesn't need a permit to carry a weapon if he is on his own property. That would be the same as needing a permit to keep guns inside your house.

The only way to stop a problem is to confront it head on without fear. Thugs can read your voice and body language and tell whether you are scared or not. If they detect either, they will torment you until the day you die. Doesn't your county have a law against littering which includes a fine? If it does, look through the garbage and pick up pieces of mail or other papers that have their name and address on it and hold everything as evidence. Go to the District Attorney's office and ask for assistance to swear out a warrant for their arrest. You may also want to leave the rest of the garbage lying where they dumped it and call the EPA and ask for their help. They are cracking down on illegal dumping and stream pollution in my county and have recently handed down a $150k fine for dumping on another man's property and into a creek that was nearby. It gets to be expensive when the EPA hires contractors to clean up the mess and forces the violator to pay the bill plus a fine.

I have a carry permit and always carry a handgun in my car because I travel alone most of the time. I went to GA a couple of weeks ago to spend some time with my husband. I was walking my Shinese puppies in the side yard and saw a Pitbull-Lab mix running toward them. I yelled and he turned back. Two days later the same thing happened again only he had a red Pitbull with him and they were coming for blood that time. They didn't respond to my yelling at them and kept coming. I pulled the pups back to my feet and pulled out my handgun and drew down on the one closest to me. About that time, I heard a man calling the dogs back, which they responded to. I held the gun down by my side and told the owner in a loud voice, "You were lucky this time but if I ever see one of those dogs in this yard again, I WILL kill it. You already know they are dangerous and this is the ONLY warning you will get." With that I picked up the puppies and walked back into the house. The man was visiting next door and had brought those dangerous dogs with him and was allowing them to run loose while he ran his mouth. The dogs never came back while I was there.

Don't give in and don't give up until you get the help you are legally entitled to.
