Governor Frank Murkowski (R) has signed SB 200, the “Castle Doctrine” self-defense bill, into law.
This bill simply states that if a criminal breaks into your home, your occupied vehicle, or your place of business, the potential victim does not have a “duty to retreat.” The bill also provides protection from criminal prosecution and civil litigation for those who defend themselves from criminal attack.
The “Castle Doctrine” bill met with overwhelming, bipartisan support, passing with a unanimous 33-0 vote in the State House and 16-0 concurrence vote in the Senate.
Alaska joins 10 other states that signed similar legislation into law this legislative cycle.
Congratulations, Alaska!
