On Monday, May 3rd, the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee will vote on Legislative Document 1138, which strengthens Mainers’ fundamental right to self-defense. Please act now! Contact committee members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee and ask them to SUPPORT LD 1138.
Legislative Document 1138 strengthens Mainers’ fundamental right to self-defense anywhere they are legally allowed to be. Victims of violent crime who respond with defensive force while protecting themselves or their loved ones should not have to face the additional threat of criminal or civil prosecution. If enacted, law-abiding citizens will no longer be required to retreat before defending themselves.
Again, please contact members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee and ask them to SUPPORT LD 1138.
