ONE HUNDRED FIRST LEGISLATURE
FIRST SESSION
LEGISLATIVE RESOLUTION 191
Introduced by Christensen, 44.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this interim study is to examine Nebraska?s
laws regarding a person?s right in their home to defend his or
her own life or another?s life by reasonable force, which may
include the use of deadly force, and to examine similar laws in
other states that would potentially provide a model for expanding
this right in Nebraska. The right to defend yourself by the use of
reasonable force in one?s home, which may include the use of deadly
force, is generally called the Castle Doctrine. This study shall
include, but not be limited to: (1) An examination of Nebraska?s
laws regarding one?s right to self-defense within the home; (2)
the review of Castle Doctrine laws in other states; and (3) the
development of potential policy changes, if needed, to strengthen
the right to self-defense within the home in Nebraska.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE
HUNDRED FIRST LEGISLATURE OF NEBRASKA, FIRST SESSION:
1. That the Judiciary Committee of the Legislature shall
be designated to conduct an interim study to carry out the purposes
of this resolution.
2. That the committee shall upon the conclusion of
its study make a report of its findings, together with its
recommendations, to the Legislative Council or Legislature.


I'd like them to study it more than just "in the home", but I'm sure we will have a few people writing in to give suggestions.  ;)

Hey it beats them doing nothing, I think this is a good thing!
