I OPPOSE! There is too much detail as to when I can use force to protect myself, others and property hince,"(1) self or family agai more...nst a reasonably perceived threat of imminent and unlawful infliction of serious bodily injury; (2) self or family in the course of the commission by another person of a violent felony against the person or a member of the person's family; and (3) the person's home in the course of the commission of a felony by another person."
By stipulating the term FELONY as a condition for the use of force to protect self, others and property, it opens the door for the possible defense of a criminal that is shot by a citizen to file charges against the victim for wrongful use of force. This bill should concentrate on the "perceived threat" and not hinge on the fact whether a crook is a felon before he can be shot as a trespasser, or threat to me or my family.
Only a hnadful of states now grant the latitude to defend your home and family without the threat of prosecution. In almost all cases a breaking and entering or assaulting you outside the home is committing a felony, therefore is a felon, and would be fair game. Unbised statistics have shown that legal possession of firearms is a deterrent to crime. I, for one, would not like to see someone shot by anyone making a "citizen's arrest" for a misdemeanor.
