On April 12, the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee is scheduled to hear an important self-defense bill that is critical to the citizens of New Hampshire.
|
As previously reported, the Senate Judiciary Committee added an amendment to Senate Bill 88 that would have severely weakened this important self-defense measure. Thanks to the help of state Senator Jim Luther (R-12), the Committee amendment was voted down on the Senate floor. This Castle Doctrine bill passed in the state Senate on March 30 by a 17 to 7 vote. Introduced by state Senator David Boutin (R-16), SB 88 would remove the duty to retreat and allow law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their home and any place outside of their home. Please call and e-mail members of the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee and urge them to support SB 88.
