Texas Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground Bill Signed Into Law

From the Star Telegram:

By Kelley Shannon:


Gov. Rick Perry signed into law Tuesday a bill that gives Texans a stronger legal right to defend themselves with deadly force in their homes, cars and workplaces...

...This is the first bill-signing this legislative session by the Republican governor. The law takes effect Sept. 1.
It is a done deal. On September 1st Texas will have a Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground Law.

For more information on this law (including text), go here.

Now lets just hope that the bad guys don't get smartass and carry along those 30.06 signs with them...

Make a teeshirt with that logo and they'd be invulnerable

I am really glad they made it 'legal' for me to stand and defend my home...

I hate to tell anyone this but I never DID need a mandate...
