Time for a castle law?

<< < (2/6) > >>

tufftrav:
I would fully agree, i would be willing to try and type up some sort of proposal to see if any senators would be willing to get the ball rolling.

Rifleman:
I've already contacted my senator about this. Yet to hear back from him.

Considering the landslide outcome of LB430, I think this is doable. We would also have the momentum of other states on our side. Wouldn't it be great if by the end of the next session NE had a Castle Doctrine that compared favorably to Texas's or Florida's?

It would also provide an excellent opportunity to hold to the fire the feet of those senators who oppose the rights of Nebraskans to be armed or to defend themselves and their families. Make them tell the public why they don't trust their constituents. It's all to the good, I say.

FarmerRick:
I'd say that as soon as this session is over would be a great time to start contacting our senators about this, AND a resolution reaffirming Nebraska's rights as spelled out in the 10th amendment.

bkoenig:
I'm 100% in agreement with FarmerRick on both points.  State's rights and individuals' rights, both have been trampled on for far too long.

Dan W:
Let's keep the focus on this session for now. LB 503 is up next and we need to make sure it gets through.  Right now, with the death penalty debate looming, my guess is that most Senators won't be paying much attention to issues that are not on the agenda this session.

But, I certainly agree that the arguments can be honed for pushing these issues after the session ends and in preparation for 2010
