someone mentioned it in the castle doctrine thread and i was wondering if anything has been written up yet? i understand the castle doctrine is the main focus right now, but i was just curious if there was any new?

Assuming I understand this correctly- long story short, people's egos are getting in the way. Everyone wants to be able to take credit of the bill, thus resulting in sort of a limbo status.

Does anyone know who I should contact to get the ball moving on this. I'm not sure when it comes up again but I would like to push them to get it done.

Then I can discuss on HB822 so my concealed carry permit will work in jersey.

as i understand it, HB40 still has a duty to retreat in it and that a representative (i cannot remember who) was working on a separate bill to remove the duty to retreat
