    only 7.4% of americans serve in the military. while i know that’s not how statistics work, it seems to be a significant marker. like, i know more than a few former marines who like to talk about luring people onto gold mines because they think then it’s somehow legal to murder them.

        i honestly think they just think if they’re underground no one will hear the shot and the legality has something to do with mining law. it’s sovcit bullshit.

          Well you see I impaled them with a flag that has gold frill, so its actually under maritime law and since you arent a boat you cant arrest me, officer. 🤡

        From my understanding, gold mines (doesn’t even have to be a mine, just a gold claim of any type) have certain legal exemptions for trespassing from the olden days. At least in most areas that I’m aware of. It’s basically the Castle Doctrine but can be applied if it seems like another person is even attempting to visit your claim. Not much room for concerns of “what happened?” when the only question that needs answered is “were they there?”
