Renting the dog is the best idea. Shooting at the guy is a horrible idea. I mean you seriously wound him and he can easily say he was just walking past your house and you took a shot at him. He comes in your house and then you blow his freaking head off. Make sure you fill out a police report first, and let them know that you will be using the dog as a deterent. Nothing like waking up a sleeping rottweiller.

Here's a thought.
Hire Sasquach, oops I mean Doug C "Loved you in Harry and the Hendersons man, and the work you did in Star Wars was totally overlooked by most folks" to camp in your driveway a few nights and explain to the guy that he's not wanted around.
Should work.

If you choose the Doug C method be aware of "Jack Links". It's like kryptonite to superman!
Firing a shotgun up in the air, or a mace/pepper shell directly at him is an acceptable line of action in Rep of NJ? I've already reported him twice to the police so there would be something decent on record.
If you get a dog, please also get a higher quality video camera - those photos suck. I want to see detail when the dog does it's thing 
Personally, I am surprised at your self control but in these days, who knows what some crackpot will do when you come out ready to tackle him - I've had a gun in my face in a street fight once and I did not enjoy that moment of "oops, didn't plan on that" so I just held my ground but made no more advance seeing as I had fought my way in and pulled my friend to safety by then ( a friend and I had been jumped by 7-10 guys, very low life stuff not common in the area we were in)
Anyway, you never know what it could turn into. You should not walk out with a gun unless you are in fact prepared in that exact moment to finish. You may even scare someone into escalation - and be caught off guard and shot yourself if are only bluffing.
Too bad you don't want dogs, an invisible fence would be awesome. I don't believe in any sort of tether on a dog because it actually puts them at risk and less able to defend their own self if someone gets really nasty. Three dogs would be better though....

I have found that packing heat makes me far less likely to pursue action and FAR more likely to slowly retreat.
I have been very pleased to find that amongst those I know who pack, this is by far the most common response/attitude. It's reassuring that those who have the ability to use deadly force have chosen to do so wisely and are less likely to use it.
While I am a staunch supported of the right to defend oneself, I am also the first to say it is a last resort. If you have any way to identify a potential threat, there is a means to refer them to law enforcement to do their part of the job. The citizenry has an obligation to assist law enforcement when capable and to defend themselves when no other avenue is present.
I'm not a complete wacko.

A new cat is trying to move into the shop. He's been named 2005 4.2 litre fuel injected, Turbocharged Land Rover Range Rover Sport. Affectionately referred to as Sport!

He needs to decide to be petted first. So far, he runs when he's at the food bowl and just sits in the dog box glaring at me when I shine a flashlight at him.
