Castle Doctrine Legislation Scheduled to be Heard in 
Committee on Tuesday!
Please Contact Committee Members Today!

State Representative John Heaton (D-Carlsbad) has introduced
<http://legis.state.nm.us/lcs/_session.asp?chamber=H&type=++&number=163&year
=07> HB 163, NRA-backed "Castle Doctrine"/self-defense statute reform
legislation.  

This bill is modeled on Florida's landmark law, creating presumptions of
reasonableness for the use of defensive force in or around your home or
occupied vehicle; codifying that you have "no duty to retreat" from a
violent attack if you're in a place where you have a right to be, if you're
not the initial aggressor, and if you're not engaged in criminal activity
yourself; and establishing additional protections from civil liability if
you lawfully protect yourself or your family.  

 

On Tuesday, January 30, the New Mexico House Consumer and Public Affairs
Committee will hold a hearing on HB 163 at 1:30 p.m., in room 315 of the
State Capitol in Santa Fe.  Please contact the committee members below and
urge them to support HB 163.
