I finished reading the Apr 2012 issue of American Rifleman today and noted that Chris Cox's (NRA-ILA Executive Director) multi-page Castle Doctrine article said in part:
Bolding mine.
I'm hoping someone in a leadership position at VCDL is planning on penning a reader letter ("Readers Write") to set the record straight on why this year's NRA-backed proposals didn't pass muster and would have been a huge step backward for Virginians. Only a letter from the VCDL President or an ED has a prayer's chance of being published. I trust the opportunity will be seized.
"Currently, the NRA is working to enact Castle Doctrine legislation in Iowa and Virginia, and for improvements to existing Castle Doctrine laws in Alaska, Nebraska and Washington. Just as we work toward the day when all states allow all good citizens of age to carry firearms for protection, we will work until all states fully protect the right of law-abiding people to use force in defense of themselves and one another, without fear of prison or bankruptcy. Decent people have a right to nothing less."
Bolding mine.
