Republican Senate + Triggerman Bill = FAIL. 7-7-1. This bill sailed with bipartisan support in yrs past but then vetoed by Warner & Kaine. #

Castle doctrine is already addressed in common law - legislation on floor are unnecessary and take away judicial flexibility. #

Castle doctrine already exists in Virginia's common law. That is why HB 48 is unnecessary and it removes proportionality of response. #

Castle Doctrine law = unnecessary. I don't need law to tell me I can defend my family if someone enters my home and attacks them. #
