Q & A
Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.

Here are some questions that have recently been posed to me. Hopefully, these inquiries, plus my responses, will be of interest. Note to all those who send me questions of this sort: I reserve the right to blog your inquiries and my responses to them, but shall keep your identity anonymous.
Q1. Donald Trump (half in jest?) told his guards to confiscate the coats of people who came to one of his speeches to heckle him. Is this compatible with libertarian punishment theory.
A1: Yes and no. If he announced this beforehand (and was the owner of the venue, or this was approved by that person), then yes. Property owners should be able to set whatever rules guest must abide by, but only if this was widely publicized. I wrote about this under the title of “murder park” here and here.
But, suppose the owner, in this case The Donald, did not publicly proclaim this unusual punishment to all and sundry. Then, it would not be justified. For under such a system, actual outright murder could legally occur. I invite you to my home. As soon as you enter, I pull a gun on you, tell you that my rules are that all guests are fair game, and shoot you dead. Surely, this outrageous behavior of mine should not be considered legal in any civilized system of law.
