Nebraska Castle Doctrine and Stand your Ground laws

(1/4) > >>

LTCetme:
I know we were going to get these laws and they were tabled with the whole Zimmerman controversy.

After some internet searches (perhaps my search foo is weak) I was not able to ascertain the status of the laws currently. Are they dead for sure? Who must we contact to get things back up and moving? I've been sending my usual letters and emails but I'd like to be more specific.

Is there a grassroots effort I can participate in?

NE Bull:
As you said everything is on hiatus for the moment (but not necessarily due to GZ case) Mostly due to some legislative slight of hand. 
Generally speaking we do have Castle Doctrine in Nebraska in as we are not required to retreat from our homes, now extending that to car, business, anyplace you have a right to be- (essentially SYG) hasn't really went anywhere.
Now the Civil Liability Protection- aka Victim Protection Act- is the biggie that the NFOA was trying for, In a nutshell the bill got neutered. 
I believe it is on the agenda to go after all this again, but first we must work ( thru the NFOA-PAC) to get the soon to be (term limit) vacated seats especially those on the Judicial Committee, filled with pro gun, common sense legislators.
AAllen had a nice write up elsewhere here on this all recently, but for the life of me I can not find it.

Not while the Cobra is in Lincoln. :(

AAlan,  here is the research  you wanted about  justifiable homicide and the stand your ground law in Florida, all in one database!

It turns out that the data shows that Blacks have benefited more from the Stand Your Ground Law than any other ethnic group.

The Zimmerman controversy started with the DOJ sending one  of its CRS teams to Stanford, Florida to "advise" certain groups on how to protest police ruling, which lead to the protests, which lead to the state making its ridiculous charge, followed by the travesty of its prosecution.     This isn't the first time the Holder's subordinates have tried to "salt the mines" of anti-2A sentiment.

Only partly true, sir.  If you look at the group of Senators that are leaving due to Term Limits, we have a real chance at loading the Judicial Committee with like minded individuals.  Notably leaving are- McGill, Lathrop, Ashford, Avery of the JC. If the we can support the NFOA-PAC in filling those seats with the right people, the Cobra will be nothing more than an annoying little Garter Snake.  (Unfortunately, I believe we will also lose allies such as Christensen)
