I have ordered several "No Trespassing" signs to put all around my property. That gives me the right to aim a gun at them if they knock on my door, right?
ETA: Just to be clear, I don't plan on opening the door if these people come knocking. I would only open holding a gun if they pounded and refused to leave.
Yes and no. yes, that is your right, and no, the State does not recognize that right. You have a right to defend yourself, and pointing a gun at unsolicited strangers pounding on your door in this day and age of home invasion robberies absolutely IS your right. The State, on the other hand, views the mere pointing of a gun as "assault", and will act accordingly.
As I have said time and time again, the only rights we have are the ones we are willing to enforce ourselves. The State is in the business of trying to convince us that we have none other than those the State issues to us, which are not rights at all. If the State issues them, the State can also revoke them, and what kind of "right" would that be? Not a "right" at all, just a revokable "privilege".

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
