Any hope for "Castle Doctrine" legislation?
Now that the election is history, what are the feelings in regard to getting "Castle Doctrine" legislation into law?

Re: Any hope for "Castle Doctrine" legislation?
I don't hold any hope really, I didn't see much progress in anything pro gun pre election, and then was the time to do it. While they did shoot down most anti gun proposals, there wasn't any progress on the pro side. And I am very disappointed.
I wonder even if the legislature passes it would the gov sign it? I doubt it as he'd probably think he was giving gunowners a "license to kill"...Drew Bingaman Chair Susquehanna Valley Libertarian Party

Re: Any hope for "Castle Doctrine" legislation?
The potential still exists on the state level, the majority of Dems that were voted in are the old school type from areas that firmly believe in the 2A. On the federal level, we'll be lucky if we don't start seeing some ugly legislation before the next election. If the Dems hold off on anti-2A legislation for the next two years and hold off on tax increases then it will depend on who is in the WH after that. If they have both houses and the WH hold on to your hats.

A Castle Doctrine Bill has been authored:

but I'm not sure if the State Assembly is planning on considering it for vote."Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners"

Re: Any hope for "Castle Doctrine" legislation?
HB2231 is now stale because it sat in judiciary since November 15th 2005 so I if I am correct in my thinking it would have had to pass the House by November 15 2006 and as far as I can see in the history of 2231 is was only through an informal vote when they met as a Committee of the Whole. (it passed only in the informal vote)
I believe HB2231 would have to be re authored.
