If you want to read a funny case, try Katko V. Briney (not sure of the spelling). It is a old tort case...I think from the Iowa court. Farmer owned two properties, and stored valuables at one of the properties. He was repeatedly burglarized, and got tired of it. So he rigged a shot gun trap with a trip wire between the door and the trigger. The next time he was burglarized the gun went off and nearly took the burglar's leg off. The burglar was arrested, but successfully sued the farmer for use of unreasonable force in the protection of his property.
