From AzCDL:
"Castle Doctrine" legislation introduced.
Two bills have been introduced in the Senate to strengthen your
fundamental right to self-defense:
SCR 1001:
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/legtext/47leg/2r/bills/scr1001p%2Ehtm
SB 1090:
http://www.azleg.state.az.us/legtext/47leg/2r/bills/sb1090p.htm
SCR 1001 is a legislative referendum that would submit a proposed
constitutional amendment to the voters for approval. SB 1090 contains
substantially similar language to SCR 1001, but would not require voter
approval.
SB 1090 has bipartisan sponsorship from 10 legislators (6 Democrats & 4
Republicans).
SB 1090 & SCR 1001 strengthen your right to self-defense and partially
restore your right to an affirmative defense. We support the language
in both bills but believe that SB 1090 is the better vehicle. It has a
greater chance of passage and will enjoy greater bipartisan support.
We urge you contact your legislators to support SB 1090 and to recommend
the same to their colleagues.
You can find your state legislators, their phone numbers, street and
email addresses at:

via these Alerts:
