A man’s home is his castle, or so the saying goes. And people should be able to protect their homes - including our most precious asset, our families - against intruders without fear of a lawsuit.

The authors of the bill should be arrested for conspiracy to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

soooo the invaders will be just fine with regular homeowners breaking into the invader’s homes and suing them when the homeowners ‘fall and hurt themselves’ in the invaders hones then huh?

Names and addresses of all invaders so that law abiding citizens can break into their homes, hurt themselves and sue them!

Well there you go.

He wasn't injured or killed when I decided to use deadly force.

I didn't use deadly force against an injured or killed person.

Chicken wings for lunch, who's in?
