Privilege to self defense? We have, "The people have the right to keep and bear arms for security, defense, hunting, recreation or any other lawful purpose."
"the 'Privilege' of self-defense" was language in AB69, AB69-ASA1, AB69-ASA2.
Word from some legislators and staffers reported that is was going to be changed to "the 'right' of self-defense" but that did not happen. In AB69-ASA3 is was just stripped down to "self-defense"
That language is only on the bill itself, it does not transfer into the statutes, so the title of the bill has no final conseqeutial impact. I don't like the fact that this bill did not reflect that is in our RIGHT to self-defense. I really don't. I doubt that Stand Your Ground will be included this time through. Sometime in the future, when 'Stand Your Ground' legislation is introduced, I pray the title of the bill will be The Right of Self-Defense.
