Now we just need the "castle doctrine" like Florida has.

Didn't the last governor veto the concealed carry bill and was voted out of office?

I hope Kansas and Nebraska are next to pass a concealed carry law. As the last states get their's, it's going to be that much harder to convince the holdouts.

In Michigan, when we took our class for our ccw permit there was a prosecuting attorney that talked to us about the law and how it would relate to us if we happened to shoot someome in our own home in self defense. His words were "Expect to be charged." He gave every indication that there would be an investigation into the shooting and that we had better be right about what he did. I don't think it's fair to force a homeowner to hesitate for a second, to worry about going to jail, while defending their home. Now, prior to that the NRA trainer told us that when someone broke in to our home, as soon as we felt a "threat" we were within our right to shoot. All I know is this, someone comes into my house and threatens my family or me, I will shoot them. I carry a gun in my purse and it is a tremendous comfort to me. I am aware of my surroundings at all times and am always aware that at any moment something could happen. I have on a couple of occasions opened my purse to be "ready." Never needed to use it. Hope I never do.
