LA: HB 89 Passes Senate

The Louisiana Senate passed House Bill No. 89 with 36 yeas and no nays (three senators were absent).

On Monday, the House approved the bill 98 to 0.

Under HB89, the courts would be required to assume the use of deadly force was reasonable if the victim illegally broke into someone’s home, vehicle or business. The person shooting an intruder also would no longer have to show an attempt to retreat under the legislation.

Look for more ridiculous "License to Murder" hysteria from the collectivists. Now if Ray "Chocolate City" Nagin would just give citizens their guns back...
