| Nov 13, 2021 at 0:57 | comment | added | Mazura | This is three different questions arbitrarily welded together. You're either allowed to carry a weapon or you're not. You're either trespassing or you're not. And whether or not you legally defended yourself is to be decided in court. | |

| Nov 12, 2021 at 19:04 | comment | added | JimmyJames | Would repossessing a car be a good example of what you are talking about? It's not typically the repo-person's property but they are working on behalf of the owner. According to this CA law allows for repo-agents to enter your property without permission. | |
| Nov 12, 2021 at 17:42 | comment | added | ohwilleke | If you have a legal reason sufficient to overcome the fact that you are trespassing (e.g. an easement or right under a statute to do so), you aren't trespassing. | |
| Nov 12, 2021 at 17:03 | comment | added | Paul Smith | A court order allowing you to retrieve things does not entitle you to break the law. You would still trespassing unless the order explicitly gave you permission to enter the property to retrieve them. | |

| Nov 12, 2021 at 12:32 | comment | added | nvoigt | You should probably clarify what you mean by "defend". You are always allowed to defend yourself by for example wearing a helmet or dodge a blow or run away. Are you actually only asking over self-defense or are you asking whether you can enforce the "e.g. court order"? For example if the owner pulls a gun and tells you to leave, pulling your own gun is not really self-defense any more. | |
