Back in Wisconsin in the 60s or early 70s, a farmer had a continuing problem with break-ins at a second farmhouse on his farm. He set up a spring-gun and it got a convicted felon who was also an escapee, as I recall.

The felon sued and won! There is no justice in Wisconsin.

Booby traps like spring guns are specifically illegal in Wisconsin.

It is an entirely different circumstance.

Even in Milwaukee county, this guy will get laughed out of court.

set up a spring-gun

It could have got a cop or fireman. There is a long history of "Man Traps" being a big time no-no
