TX Rep. Terry Meza Files Bill Making it Illegal to Defend Your Home with a Firearm
lsgr.live ^ | Nov. 17, 2020 | Lone Star Gun Rights

Posted on 11/30/2020 10:08:59 AM PST by PROCON

Democrats filed a barrage of gun control bills for the upcoming legislative session in Texas. Each bill attacks the constitutionally granted rights from various angles. From the "assault weapons" ban to the universal background checks and the red flag laws, each bill intends to undermine the self-defense capabilities of Texans.

However, a very worrying piece of legislation was introduced by Irving State Representative Terry Meza. HB 196 seeks to repeal the Castle Doctrine, preventing a homeowner from using firearms to defend their property.

She believes that homeowners are too eager to pull the trigger when facing armed home invaders.

"I'm not condoning stealing, it is against the law," Meza says, "but it's not an offense that is punishable by death."

~~~SNIP~~~

She clarified that homeowners would still be allowed to defend their lives, but not using firearms. Using a firearm to fight an intruder would lead to legal problems for the victim.

If Meza's bill becomes law, homeowners will be required to retreat from their homes when a criminal invades. They will be required to make sure the criminal is not hurt or face charges for defending themselves.

Rep. Thresa "Terry" Meza, District 105

She lives in Irving with her former neighbor from Austin - a cat named Cake (Que-Que). I bet she would shoot to kill anyone messing with her cat.

Actually my wife is British and all of her family still lives there. Contrary to what you might have heard about all of these people clamoring to get into the USA she gave up her green card after living here for 10 years. We retired to Spain so we could visit easier and more often, so if a law that stupid was passed I would have heard about it. Perhaps you heard about it on the Internet?

Not in any trial where I sit as a juror. I’m an automatic “not guilty” for any victim who fends off a perp with a firearm.

Agreed. The ability to defend yourself is a God-given right.

Irving is largely Hispanic except for the northern areas bordering Coppell: the Valley Ranch and Las Colinas neighborhoods. The NFL franchise relocated to Arlington over a decade ago, and their headquarters moved from Irving to Frisco about five years ago. It used to be a lower middle class white area, with the Church of Christ presence keeping dry until the beginning of this century.

Thank you for the picture , face recognition on the battlefield will be key to not targeting the innocent. She made the list and then some. When rule of law is over scores get settled in raw it first hand in Kosovo in the 90s and that’s exactly what will happen here once the rule of law is over.
