Castle Doctrine Bill Passes PA Senate Committee
Yesterday was a big day for Pennsylvania citizens and another small victory for legal gun owners! A Pennsylvania Senate Committee passed the NRA supported Castle Doctrine known as HB 40 with a 13 – 1 vote. Introduced by state Representative Scott Perry (R-92), HB 40 would permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their home and any place outside of their home where they have a legal right to be. If enacted into law, it would also protect individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker’s family when force is used.
Another victory for PA Residents!
Currently, the law in Pennsylvania requires you to retreat from a threatening situation when ever possible. That’s right…even in your own house, you have no right to defend yourself unless it is a last desperate option. Even then, you will be subject to a flurry of civil and criminal lawsuits from any number of factions. Completely unacceptable! HB 40 will give PA Residents the legal power to defend your home and your family that they deserve. It also protects your right to defend yourself outside the home and in your vehicle. It’s a shame that we need a law like this because it is just common sense that you should be allowed to defend yourself but in this day and age, it’s also good to have written law behind you in all cases of self defense.
It’s not over yet…the bill will now be considered by the PA State Senate as early as today! Once HB 40 passes the Senate vote, I hope we can all count on Gov. Corbett to do the right thing and sign it into Pennsylvania Law! So for now, we need to call our Senators and tell them that we want them to support HB 40 LIKE A MOFO!
When will the United States Really be United?
A hooker gets busted in Atlantic City for prostitution. She is forced to pay a hefty fine, court fees, possible jail time and a scared record for life. OK, nothing
Hey baby, how much?
new here, do the crime – do the time! Nothing wrong with that other than the fact that some prostitution is legal in the State of Nevada! Granted, it is heavily regulated and allowed only in licensed brothels, but it is still legal in a form compared to New Jersey and all the rest of the 49 states that it is illegal in! Now I’m no prostitution supporter or anything like that, but it sure doesn’t seem fair that Miss Hot Pants in NJ gets arrested for doing the same thing her colleagues are doing in NV under state license! I can understand some state laws varying for instance, it may be illegal to have sex with a dead armadillo in Texas but not in Maine. Why? Because there are no armadillos in Maine! Makes sense, right! Right, but it shouldn’t be OK to be allowed to ride a motorcycle without a helmet in Pennsylvania and then have to put a helmet on when you cross over state lines to West Virginia or New York because the law mandates all riders wear a helmet in those states! As a matter of fact, there are only 4 States that are 100% helmet free: Colorado, Illinois, Iowa and New Hampshire. All the rest discriminate against riders in some fashion, including the State of Pennsylvania. In PA, riders between the age of 18 and 20 must wear a helmet while operating a motorcycle. Again, I ask: why are laws so varied across this great land?
Sexy Armadillo
Lets look at another hot topic of mine…Gun Rights. I can legally obtain a license to carry a concealed firearm in the State of Pennsylvania but I can only conceal carry in other states that have reciprocity agreements with my home state. This means that I can travel unrestricted to West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida, but I would be illegal in Ohio, Maryland and South Carolina just to mention a few! WTF kinda reasoning is this? Are our law writers on crack? Sometimes I think they are…stuff like this just makes my blood boil! If I pay my fees, meet all the requirements and obtain my legal license
Nation Wide Permits are Needed
to carry, it should be honored in any State in the union. There is a law trying to go through that would allow this, but it was voted down last year by a slim margin. Hopefully, our misguided law makers will have enough sense to make this right. It’s no different than a drivers license. Could you imagine having to get a license to drive in each state you travel to, or trying to avoid states that don’t honor your license on a trip route? Sounds crazy but this is what legal gun owners face every day in these “United States!”
I love this country but I hate the way our elected officials try to run it! We really need to make an effort to unite the country and make our laws more simple but smart. There’s no doubt that we have a lot of dumb laws on the books and the fact that they vary so much from state to state is even worse! There isn’t much we can do right now except research candidates and vote for the ones that will help restore our freedoms and make right those laws that are just ridiculous! The problem is that these candidates will say what ever we want to hear to get elected but then they do what is best for them! Whatever lobbyist pays the most cash towards their retirement fund is the way the laws shuffle. That’s a story for another day. For now, just get out and vote for freedom LIKE A MOFO!
