Time for a castle law?
Rifleman:
Now that LB430 has passed with a resounding landslide, perhaps it is time to start discussing a "castle law" for Nebraska.
I mentioned this in my congratulatory note to my senator, who is, fortunately, a proponent of 2A issues.
What does everyone think? Is it time?
ranger04:
I am a huge advocate for a Castle Doctrine law in Nebraska. The "duty to retreat" should apply ONLY to the bad guy intending to do me or my loved ones harm. This includes protection of my property, car jacking etc. I firmly believe it is high time that we Nebraskans make being a criminal a VERY dangerous occupation. My apprecation goes out to the NFOA board of directors for their hard work in keeping us informed and for their testimonies on this and other firearm related bills. I believe it is time for us to get together and celebrate this victory for Nebraska gun owners. I was a little dismayed to see Brenda missing , maybe it was time for a mustache wax. Oh well.
Rifleman:
I couldn't agree more, ranger04, that "making being a criminal a dangerous occupation" is a priority, and should be the priority of any truly civilized society? our friends in the UK notwithstanding. We've already seen declines in crime as a result of expanded CCW laws. I can't believe that the same phenomenon is not occurring in states that have adopted Castle Doctrines.
Are there any organized efforts to promote a Castle Doctrine in Nebraska?
rich17z:
Yes,it is time for a castle law here in Nebraska. My Senator Gwen Howard is anti-gun so far up the bleep that,you cannot call her a rino,just a procriminal supporter like Brenda Council and her cohort the former Senator Ernie Chambers. rich17z@cox.net
Rifleman:
Here's a site with information about the various states' Castle Laws...

It lists 27 states with some form of Castle Doctrine. This is clearly a movement that I think NE should join.
