A paintball gun will run them off without injury (back off the velocity a little if you use a pro model). I aim just short, unless I get a stubborn one. Get plenty of paint balls. It takes about a week before they believe that you really don't love'em and you mean business.

....... but, it may not be the best way to make friends if you're out paintin' while the neighbors are throwing food. Tough situation!

Something else you might try is an electric fence strung up about 5" off the ground and down the property line. With this idea, just run one light wire and only turn it on when you see them coming. I haven't tried this technique with geese, but I was successful using it to protect garden plants froml critters a few years back.
