Castle Doctrine Introduced
We are very pleased to report that Senator Richard Alloway has introduced the “Castle Doctrine” Bill in the Pennsylvania Senate.* Introduced as Senate Bill 842, it would, according to the NRA, “permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their homes and any places outside of their home where they have a legal right to be.* It is clearly stated that there would be no “duty to retreat” from an attacker, allowing law-abiding citizens to stand their ground to protect themselves and their family.* SB842 would also protect individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker’s family when force is used. ”
This bill stands a good chance of getting heard and passed out of committee if we look at the composition of the Senate Judiciary Committee, but only if we make our voices heard.* Below is a list of committee members with links to contact information, along with their NRA grades, to aid in messaging.
Majority (R)
- Greenleaf (chair), B rated
- White (vice chair), A rated
- Browne, A- rated
- Earll, A rated
- Gordner, A rated
- Orie, A rated
- Piccola, A+ rated
- Rafferty, A rated
Minority (D)
Please contact the committee members, and ask that they support this bill.* The question will be where Stu Greenleaf is going to stand on this bill, and whether he’ll want to bring it up.* But pretty clearly, we have a lot of highly rated Republicans on this committee, and we could do worse with the Democrats, so it has a good chance.* Let’s get it passed, get it on Rendell’s desk.* Even if he vetoes it, we can make it a campaign issue in the 2010 Governor’s race.
