Suggested Constitutional Carry legislation

Good job keeping the ball rolling guys!

I like to think the effort here helped make our gun laws a little more palatable!

Welcome back Brass :banana:

I missed you.

Stand your ground language

....On another note, here's Castle Doctrine from Colorado that (IMHO) has very clear citizen-protective language:

(From this thread, post #29: http://forum.opencarry.org/forums/sh...52#post1518852 )

C.R.S. 18-1-704.5 Use of deadly physical force against an intruder.
(1) The general assembly hereby recognizes that the citizens of Colorado have a right to expect absolute safety within their own homes.

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 18-1-704, any occupant of a dwelling is justified in using any degree of physical force, including deadly physical force, against another person when that other person has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, and when the occupant has a reasonable belief that such other person has committed a crime in the dwelling in addition to the uninvited entry, or is committing or intends to commit a crime against a person or property in addition to the uninvited entry, and when the occupant reasonably believes that such other person might use any physical force, no matter how slight, against any occupant.

(3) Any occupant of a dwelling using physical force, including deadly physical force, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (2) of this section shall be immune from criminal prosecution for the use of such force.

(4) Any occupant of a dwelling using physical force, including deadly physical force, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (2) of this section shall be immune from any civil liability for injuries or death resulting from the use of such force.


Now the thread this came from is because of the DA in a certain situation ignoring the law & the harassing the citizen who defended himself from 3 home invaders (killed 1 who pointed a gun at him). But the law is good.

It also needs the stand-your-ground language like in Florida's 776.013 (3).

(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
