I like what Scott Lingamfelter is attempting to do with his new bill, HB 1430, the the Right to Farm Act. This is his response to what imperious politicians, who hate freedom, did to Martha Boneta. Look at the "Remedies" for a violation.

It would be wonderful to adapt this bill and create a "Right to Carry" bill. I wonder who would be brave enough to try?

Remedies

A. Any county that violates any provision of this chapter shall be liable to aggrieved persons in the amounts equal to the fines and penalties that the county seeks to impose on such aggrieved persons, plus attorney fees.

B. Any official or employee of a county who violates any provision of this chapter, or whose interpretation or enforcement of duties operates contrary to this chapter, shall be personally liable to aggrieved persons in the amount equal to the fines and penalties that such county official or employee seeks to impose on such aggrieved persons, plus attorney fees, and shall otherwise be subject to the penalties that the official or employee seeks to impose, whether civil or criminal. Such official or employee shall not be protected by sovereign immunity for causes of action in trespass or tort.
