The measure would also provide protection against criminal prosecution or civil litigation for those who act to defend themselves.House Bill 40 would broaden the so-called "Castle Doctrine" to allow citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker outside of their homes, in their automobiles or place of business, or any other place they have a right to be - except in certain circumstances.

Yup me too I got 180 grain waiting if your an un welcomed visitor! I just don't get how this guy gets off saying people of color will suffer because of a castle doctrine!?if someone breaks into your house they deserve to be shot! It's like this guy is saying he dosnt want all his homies who break into houses to get hurt. Give me a break!!

@dieseled3 Same here, I would take prison as opposed to my family being harmed, especially if I could stop it. This is a +1 for the good citizens of the state of PA. There would have to be CRAZY things happening in my yard for me to use it there, but as far as someone in my house, game over.  Its always been that way, but now it protects us, and not the scumbag criminals. Its a good for all communities, and may just drop home invasions and burglaries.

i never needed a house approved bill to be able to protect myself and my family from who ever wanted to hurt one of us, but..it's about time this got passed, we can all sleep easier now, and watch the crime rate drop after this is actully used a few times and the criminals get the message, i saw a poll yesterday the said 91% of pennsylvanian's agreed with this bill, GOOD JOB PA...

One person said people of color will pay for this act of cowardess.... So are you saying only people of color will be killed because they are the only ones who will break into your house?think before you talk dumbass !!

If you dont threaten anyone or make clear your intent to seriously hurt or harm them within their own premises, commit arson or burglary, then you will be completely fine.

Dont let far lefty, tree hugger, pussy cunts prevent you from defending your home with required force because you might be threatening the perpetrators 'human civil rights'.
