On Tuesday, March 27, Governor Rick Perry (R) signed Senate Bill 378, NRA-supported “Castle Doctrine” legislation. Governor Perry’s signature made Texas the first state to adopt “Castle Doctrine” legislation in 2007! SB 378 will protect individuals who use force to defend themselves in their home, car and their place of business or employment, from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits. It also states that you have no “duty to retreat” from an attack if you are in a place where you have a right to be, if you did not provoke your attacker, and if you are not engaged in criminal activity yourself.


Kudos to Gov. Perry. Unfortunately this does not take into effect untill Sept of 07.

 

Ha! I feel better knowing I can stomp someone's face without fear of assault charge this and battery that.

 

some one comes in my house to rob me and i shoot and kill them i get 30 years..that would be my luck..i wish oklahoma would adopt this

 

Stomp? You can paint the walls red with their faces. Do it right the first time, and you wont have to do it again!

Start a group of people interested in establishign this law in your state, get it made into a bill. Call your NRA and ask them how it can be done, you'll easily have their support.
