Much thanks to our legislature and Governor, but especially the West Virginia Citizens Defense League:
On Wednesday, March 12, Governor Joe Manchin, (D) signed Senate Bill 145, West Virginia's "Castle Doctrine" bill, into law. SB145 will permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their homes and any places outside of their home where they have a legal right to be. It is clearly stated that there is no "duty to retreat" from an attacker, allowing law-abiding citizens to stand their ground to protect themselves and their family. SB145 also protects individuals from civil lawsuits by the attacker or the attacker's family when force is used. Please contact Governor Manchin and thank him for preserving your Second Amendment right to self-defense. The Governor can be reached by phone at (304) 558-2000 or email [email protected].
