North Carolina: “Castle Doctrine” Self-Defense Bill Still Stalled in Raleigh

Senate Bill 928, the “Castle Doctrine” self-defense bill, remains bogged down in the House.  This bill was referred to three separate committees, the first being the House Judiciary I Committee.  That committee is chaired by anti-gun State Representative Deborah Ross (D-38), and she appears to be unwilling to set a date for a hearing.  Please contact Representative Ross and urge her to allow this critical legislation—which received overwhelming, bi-partisan support in the Senate in May—to be heard. Representative Ross can be reached by phone at 919-733-5773 or e-mail [email protected].
