NC HB 74: A Better Castle Doctrine Bill

"If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretence of taking care of them, they must become happy. ... I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious."
--Thomas Jefferson

WHAT MAKES HB 74 BETTER?
  • Better definitions, including defense against "forcible felonies;"
  • Presumption of reasonable fear to victims of carjackings;
  • "Stand your ground" protection: No duty to retreat when attacked outside the home; and
  • Better protection against lawsuits: If attackers or survivors file malicious lawsuits which are thrown out of court, they would bear the full cost of litigation, freeing crime victims of tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees.
