A "castle doctrine" bill has been introduced in Pennsylvania. This bill reaffirms that a person's home is his castle, limits the duty to retreat, and in general clarifies when a person may use force, including deadly force, in defense of himself and others. It also limits lawsuits by criminals against people who used force to defend themselves or others against a criminal act, e.g., a homeowner who shoots a burglar breaking into his home.
This is a good bill. I urge any of my readers who live in PA to contact their legislators in support of this bill.
The text of the bill is here.
