Just noticed a pre-filed Castle Doctrine bill. Submitted by Gregory D. Habeeb, of Salem, Morgan Griffith's old seat.
HB 14: Persons acting in defense of property; civil immunity provided for an occupant of dwelling, etc.
Immunity for persons acting in defense of property. Provides civil immunity for an occupant of a dwelling who uses any degree of physical force while engaged in the defense of his dwelling when (i) the other person has unlawfully entered the dwelling and committed an overt act toward the occupant or another person in the dwelling and (ii) the occupant reasonably believes that he or another person in the dwelling is in imminent serious danger of bodily injury.
