PA Castle Doctrine Heads to Full House Vote! (And 3 Anti-Gun Bills Die)
Pennsylvania Judiciary Committee ^

Posted on 05/25/2010 9:43:11 AM PDT by Dan Nunn

Today at 10AM, the Pennsylvania Judicial Committee met to decide the fate of the Castle Doctrine (HB40), the bill that would justify deadly force if you feel your life is in jeopardy ANYWHERE you have the right to be. The bill is now referred to the house for a full vote when Speaker McCall schedules it!

This is great news in PA as the bill has been brought for many, many years without the opportunity of a full vote.

At the same meeting, the Judiciary Committee denied three anti-gun bills from moving to the house, including one bill that would revoke state preemption of firearms laws!

Have no fear, Fast Eddie will veto any bill that even smells like it could be pro-gun.

And we are in year 8 of his 8-year reign, with quite possibly the best year for electing his replacement that we could ask for. :)

So yesterday I emailed everyone in the judiciary committee. I had 2 representatives delete my email without reading.

Rep Joe Brennan JBrennan@pahouse.net
Rep John Pallone JPallone@pahouse.net

Funny thing ... I sent them both emails asking how I could donate money. They did not delete those.

In the comments section of this article, a guy states that this still has to go through the appropriations committee:

Don’t know if that’s true or not, but it still may not get to the floor of the house yet. Does anyone know if this is true and does anyone know the political (conservative/lefty) makeup of the appropriations committee.
