Alaska: House to Vote on Common Sense Self-Defense Legislation

Monday, March 4, 2013

Please contact your state Representative Today!

House Bill 24, important self-defense legislation introduced by state Representative Mark Neuman (R-10), passed in the House Finance Committee by a 5-0 vote on March 1. HB 24 will now be voted on by the entire state House of Representatives. It is imperative that your state Representative hear from you today! Please urge him or her to support HB 24. To find your state Representative and their contact information, please click here.

Under existing state law, there is no duty-to-retreat if a person is in their home, business or on their own property. HB 24 would extend this to recognize the right to use force, including deadly force, for self-defense to include anywhere a person has a legal right to be.

Thank you for your continued efforts during this legislative session.
