An Arkansas lawmaker has filed a "stand your ground" self-defense bill.
Opponents of the House Bill 1059 said it could have unintended consequences but the sponsor, Rep. Aaron Pilkington, R-Clarksville, said he wants to give Arkansans an opportunity to better protect themselves.
“Let's say someone came up to your yard, had a gun, and said, 'I’m going to shoot you, I’m going to kill you for what you did' ... your duty right then is to turn around and go inside your house," Pilkington said. "And the second you turn they could shoot you in the back and you were just trying to follow the law." |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
