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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
