As I figure it in the context that we are discussing it...
A bounty hunter is a private citizen who has-- for whatever justification-- has chosen to
1.) break and enter into my home
2.) caused signifiant property damage
3.) is trespassing
4.) because of his/her desire to protect themselves, IS a threat to me
Considering that I...
1.) Typically am in the back of my house, they would probably make it into my house
2.) ALWAYS have either a 870 loaded with 00 buck, a 1911A1, or an AR-15 next to me
3.) Live in a house that you can only enter through two doors and those are strudy and alarmed.
4.) Live in a house where it takes significant movement through the house around corners to get from the doors to the living areas
5.) The rear door requires you to get through TWO doors (one steel and one solid cypress)
6.) Live in a Castle Doctrine state that also has provisions for Defense of Property
... This would NOT go well for said Bounty Hunters.
You want to come into my house? You better get a damned job as a REAL LEO and then get a warrant.
Otherwise, you are a criminal, a threat, and likely a dead man. I live in the woods deep in my private land. We don't have people accidently coming to my house. You can't get to my house without significant effort.
EVERYONE that comes here puts me in "Condition Orange" until I know otherwise. Hell, my father calls me on the cell phone before he turns in the driveway.
EDIT:
BTW... I just got this of the web. May be worth the discussion...

In the United States of America bounty hunters have nearly limitless authority in their duties with regard to apprehending a fugitive bond jumper. Unlike a police officer, a bounty hunter can enter the fugitive's private domain without a warrant (even on the “Sabbath Day”). Bounty hunters are also sometimes known as Bail Enforcement Agents or Fugitive Recovery Agents many of these professionals are also licensed private investigators with extensive experience in skip tracing, back ground checks and law enforcement surveillance techniques. Please contact one of these qualified Private Investigators listed on this site for more information.
