"The rationale for the law is fairly straight-forward: people have a right to defend themselves and their loved ones against criminals who break into their homes."
"The "Make My Day" law expands the protection of those who exercise self-defense within their homes. Under the law, people who defend themselves are exempted from criminal as well as civil liability. The law now resides in the Colorado statute books as 18-1-704.5"

I'm not debating the make my day law, it's existance, legalities or anything like that.

HB06-1246, the Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground Act Read about it here;

EXPANDS the make my day law, if you care to read the bill.

He said other states, not specifically alaska. From my searching i found there to be 18+ states with Castle Doctrine.

What am i saying that's BS?

I'm quoting direct sources, with links and offering to listen to your explination, asking for you to inform me of what i'm wrong about and you respond with insulting, and inflamitory remarks.

THE REAL POINT:

Maybe we're merely arguing over definitions and technicalities??

The "make my day" law is the only LAW we have concerning duty to retreat. You are very right about that, and i've NEVER tried to say that it wasn't a law, or wasn't real. It may fall under the class of Castle doctrine in your eyes?

the Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground Act was the title of a BILL killed quietly in comittee, it did not recieve much press. I was trying to bring to Glockmaster's attention the definitions and possible expansion of the "make my day" law by the CASTLE DOCTRINE BILL.
