I'm talking about the law, not what you might be able to get away
with. I'd imagine there's more leeway for one's home, but I don't
think you can expect to use force on someone not threatening life or
limb and not expect to get arrested, sued, or both.

" A person may use reasonable force ... to remove a trespasser from their
property after the trespasser has been requested to leave and has refused

do so." Commonwealth vs. June A. Galvin
