Never thought about this before. The neighbors called from vacationing in Tennessee. They wanted me to "watch their house" till they get back. Apparently there is some concern that some "black sheep" family member might want to get into the house to take some guns. My question is this: How much authority do I have, legally, to protect their belongings,(same as my own?,or not?) given that they asked me to watch over their house. They are good people and would do anything for me. All I need do is ask.
