Missouri Governor Matt Blunt signed legislation which says people can use deadly force once an intruder illegally enters their home, vehicle or other dwelling, including a tent. The Bill provides an absolute defense against being charged or sued by eliminating the requirement for people to try and run first if they're attacked. The issue is drawing quick reaction. "It ensures law-abiding Missourians will not be punished when they use force to defend themselves and their family from attacks in their own home or vehicle," Governor Blunt said in a written statement.
States are finally giving our citizens the right to protect their property. This right has been suppressed for far too long. We are tired of being afraid to shoot at an intruder for fear of prosecution. The intruder does not have this same restriction put on him, he will shoot if he is threatened, without reservation. The home owner, on the other hand, has to think twice because he can be sued for wrongful death and\or manslaughter (this is because of unscrupulous lawyers). Now, without this fear, homeowners have a new power to protect their property and others the way they should have been able to all along. The power has shifted from the scum-bag felon to the homeowner where it has always belonged. I’ll bet you that home break-ins will finally decrease in number.
I hate like hell to give any politician hero status, but Missouri Governor Matt Blunt has just become a hero to a lot of people.
This bill is long overdue and I urge every state to follow his lead immediately.
I am not an NRA member, and I am not a gun fanatic. I just believe in the very basic right that everyone should be able to protect themselves and their property from anyone. We have always had this right but low-life, money-grabbing lawyers will sue anyone if the price is right and have turned the tables on law-abiding citizens for far too long. I just pray those same ‘gun for hire’ bastards don’t screw this up for us too.
The next law that needs to be passed is one that will give battered women the right to kill their bastard, coward husbands who have a history of beating them.
