AB-288 (Castle Doctrine) is in jeopardy of not even receiving a committee hearing to discuss the merits of the bill. AB-288 is a good bill and deserves your support. As introduced, AB-288 states that if you use deadly force and (a) are not the agressor, (b) have a right to be present where you use deadly force, and (c) are not engaged in a criminal act when you use deadly force, then you cannot be sued civilly if (1) there is a presumption that you had a reasonable fear of death or bodily injury to yourself or another person during a burglary or invasion of home, and (2) that presumption is overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary of the civil action. This presumption would be extended to to circumstances in which you were in your vehicle and the agressor was committing grand larceny of your vehicle with the use/threatened use of a deadly weapon. You would then be immune from civil liability.
Please email, write, call or faxand urge a fair hearing of AB-288 in the Assembly Judiciary Committee:
