Only already active actions involving physical violence are considered aggression, but what to do with a person who interferes with you every day, and there is no possibility of getting rid of them/moving to another place. And when is the NAP considered violated? When a gun is pointed at you, or when the bullet has entered the head?

A bullet to the head can be accidental. A gun pointed at you might turn out to be a prop…

Every day, people perform (and will continue to perform under ancap conditions) many actions that someone might interpret as a violation of the non-aggression principle, or as an immediate threat of such a violation. Whether a certain action was a violation of the NAP is decided, firstly, ex post facto, and secondly, by far more people than just those involved in the incident. This is precisely why it is impossible to establish a clear criterion that defines in advance, once and for all, what constitutes a NAP violation. One can only point out that, in general, the person whose property is damaged has more grounds to oppose it than others, and it would be no surprise if they claimed compensation for the damage.

As for the case of a person you cannot get rid of and who constantly interferes, they are usually tolerated, but seeking ways to alleviate the situation would be quite appropriate. After all, people have even learned how to separate Siamese twins, and this seems like a relatively straightforward case by comparison.

This one on the left is clearly not thrilled with the one on the right
