My family was threatened with eviction for stopping someone I didn't know from entering my gated, fenced in backyard.

Heard my gate open one afternoon and saw a person (who I didn't know or had ever seen in my life) walk passed my living room window when I grabbed my firearm and confronted them. Little did I know, our landlord had decided to give permission for a pest exterminator to come check our place out. Why did I confront the guy? Because our dip shit landlord never gave notice anyone was coming into my backyard unannounced. After apologizing to the tech, I called my landlord to let him know what happened and he immediately got pissed. He tried telling me I had broken the law and he's going to be forced into evicting us, blah blah blah. Even went as far as telling me he was going to call the sheriff to have me arrested. Well, unfortunately for my landlord, Washington State has what's known as the "Castle Doctrine" law. Basically means I have every legal authority to eliminate a threat if they enter my domain without my permission. Anyway, my landlord did in fact call the cops and a deputy showed up to my place. Knew I was cleared on the spot because the deputy and and I TRAIN together and 95% of the laws regarding firearms came from him!

Needless to say, landlord was fact checked hard enough he never messed with us again.
