Regarding the private property issue: In australia, we also have strange laws dealing vehicular accidents/crimes on private property. Drug Makers etc aren't protected as it's only to do with vehicles. Regarding the firearms issue: I recall that waving a gun around and threatening people is considered a misdemenor here, while say, stealing a packet of biscuits is a felony. However if you discharge the weapon while making threats, that's a felony. Yep, Law and Justice are two different things. Glad you're okay!
