The law varies from state to state and country to country. Property owners almost always have the right to prohibit photography from, not of their property. There are some instances where we're not allowed to shoot, even from public property -- these usually fall under "expected privacy" clauses, so you generally can't shoot into a bedroom or bathroom, or shoot identifiable photos of people in places they can reasonably expect privacy.

That said, if I was shooting something like a barn from public property and the owner told me to stop, I would try to talk to them and explain the situation. If I just laughed it off and acted like some know-it-all photographer, I'd feel like a big pile of jerk.
