Alaska: House Judiciary Committee to Hear No-Duty-to-Retreat Legislation

Contact the committee today! 

The House Judiciary Committee will hear House Bill 80 tomorrow, February 9, at 1:00 p.m.

Introduced by state Representative Mark Neuman (R-15), HB 80 would remove the duty-to-retreat in Alaska.  Under this bill, Alaskans would have the right to use force, including deadly force, for self-defense anywhere they have a right to be.

Please contact members of the House Judiciary Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to support HB 80.  Contact information for this committee can be found below.  Most importantly, there needs to be a strong public record of support in the House Judiciary Committee hearing on HB 80.  You can help provide this support by visiting your local Legislative Information Office tomorrow to participate in the hearing and testify in favor of this bill.  A list of offices and contact information can be found here.
