Excerpted fromThe Register-Herald:
CHARLESTON — Lifetime National Rifle Association member Joe Manchin ceremoniously signed West Virginia’s version of the Castle Doctrine with a blunt warning Thursday to would-be home invaders.
“Don’t mess with us,” the governor cautioned while signing the bill...
“It’s part of our culture,” he said. “We’re just codifying in law what is the culture of West Virginia, that a person has a right to defend family and property, even with deadly force. That’s part of culture, without being sued and dragged off to prison. We did quite well on this.”
Manchin agreed, saying, “I think we’ve always felt that. We just now made it legal.”
