As many of you are aware, HB-1060, the Castle Doctrine bill was UNANIMOUSLY passed by the entire House of Delegates and forwarded to the Senate Judicial Committee.
In committee, Sen. Brian Frosh, the chairman, refused to allow the bill "out of the drawer" for a vote.
In other words, one man over ruled the will of the entire House and failed to put it out to the Senate for a vote.
Worse still, this is the 3rd time that he has unilaterally stopped this bill.
It is time to make this fact known and take on this clown.
As gun owners in this state, we've been on the defensive for far too long and have taken the mindset of "well at least it didn't get any worse". Sometimes that's the best that you can hope for, but in this case we see an egregious example of one man's ideology getting in the way of the business of the state.
Since the vote was unanimous, we have major moral clout to go after him in PG and Montgomery Counties, places where have failed to make much progress.
This bill was a step in the right direction towards our ultimate goal of shall issue legislation. It's a small step, no doubt, but acknowledging the fundamental right to self-defense in one's home IS progress and this egomaniac has allowed his judgement to be substantially affected.
Oh, did I mention that 8 of the 11 attorneys in his law firm are personal injury attorneys and have a financial interest in seeing that criminals have the ability to sue you if they break in to your home and you injure them?
