Thursday, March 31, 2011
The state House Finance Committee rescheduled its hearing on House Bill 80 for this Monday, April 4, at 6:00 p.m. HB 80 would remove the duty-to-retreat in Alaska.
Under existing law, there is no-duty-to-retreat if a person is in their home, business, or on their own property. Introduced by state Representative Mark Neuman (R-15), HB 80 would extend the right to use force, including deadly force, for self-defense anywhere a person has a legal right to be.
Please contact members of the House Finance Committee TODAY and respectfully urge them to support HB 80. Contact information for this committee can be found below. Most importantly, there needs to be a strong public record of support in the House Finance Committee hearing on HB 80. You can help provide this support by visiting your local Legislative Information Office on Monday evening to participate in this hearing and testify in favor of this bill. A list of offices and contact information can be found here."
