Local legislation aimed at affirming that Alabama’s “Stand Your Ground” law does apply to churches passed the state House of Representatives on May 17 and is headed to the state Senate.
Rep. April Weaver sponsored the bill for Chilton County after action was not taken on the proposed “Alabama Church Protection Act,” which would have been for the entire state.
Weaver said the local bill would “remove any doubt that ‘stand your ground’ applies to churches and religious organizations.” |

It's unbelievable that such legislation would be necessary.
SYG applies EVERYWHERE, pursuant to an individual's right to self-defense. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
