If you see purple paint while hiking in these states, run for your life

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] There are 19 states where if you see purple paint on trees or fence posts while out hiking, you should leave immediately.

That's because purple paint denotes private property in these areas, which means you are trespassing and could open yourself up to criminal prosecution.

What's more, in a country where citizens have a constitutional right to own guns, disregarding these markings could put your life in serious danger.

Those violent Americans are ever so quaint, my dear, with their odd ideas about private property. And of course, the guns they use to enforce them.

States that have purple paint laws include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.

However, it's important to note that in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, purple paint is not for dissuading criminal trespassers. It's solely used to notify people that they are not allowed to hunt or fish in the marked area.

#1 Per Article," However, it's important to note that in North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia, purple paint is not for dissuading criminal trespassers. It's solely used to notify people that they are not allowed to hunt or fish in the marked area" < Which is why I leave several "spent" shot gun shells and a few (more than a few) badly painted a 'la Jackson Pollock crimson quartz rocks laying around the boundary of my Virginia estate - with the "No Trespassing signs" so Pollock-esqued <👀😮🙂✅💯🌞😂

#2 The Daily Fail proves once again that it's a joke. No need to "run for your life." Just don't trespass or hunt on private property.

#3 My purple paint just means it's not public land, stay off. (However) I won't do anything unless you set up camp or look like you are hunting. (And even then I will just call the authorities... won't shoot you for a first violation...)
