LB430 UPDATE 5/13/09: LB430 Passes 45-3; thank the Senators

<< < (54/54)

Chris Z:
The Attorney Generals Office is working on the list of states. I checked with them this weekend and Mr Bruning says they are working hard to get that list established when the law takes effect

armed and humorous:
Senator Christensen (who introduced LB430) was the one who also introduced LR191, which would have initiated a study by the judiciary committee into the current laws in NE, and laws in other states, regarding the use of force to defned oneself.  They would then provide their findings and recommendations to the rest of the legislature.  Unfortunately, I don't believe the resolution made it to a vote this session, so no study will be made unless it is brought up again next session.  Another alternative to having a study would be to simply introduce legislation that would create a "castle law" in Nebraska. We, NFOA, need to pursue this with great vigor.  Personally, I'd rather skip the study, if we can find someone to introduce a well-written bill that will provide protection for citizens who choose to use force to defend themselves or their property.  The home page of NFOA has a poll asking what we think is the biggest priority for us in the coming year, and so far, a castle law seems to be our choice.
