Are you sure? In my area you can own a gun and all (to own one you need to A. not have a felony charge and B. have the owners papers) and you can legally shoot someone on your property if you have a "no trespassing" sign visible upon the entrance of the property/every 75 or so feet.
You can kill someone if they threaten your life.
No license needed to do so.
the worst thing that happened in my town so far is that some kid apparently had a substance in his backpack that could be theoretically traced to weed if you really push things.
:P
Worst thing in my town.. Probably a few break ins. Worst thing on my street would be a vandalism.
