Law Would Protect Homeowners Who Confront


EST March 25, 2004 - Maryland lawmakers on Wednesday discussed a bill that gives homeowners greater leeway when they defend themselves against intruders.


Under the measure people who use deadly force to defend themselves would not be held civilly liable.

Currently a homeowner can be sued for money damages by a burglar or their beneficiaries if the homeowner hurts or kills the intruder.

Anyone care to hide their spite for individuals defending themselves using firearms with something like "Now anyone can just shoot people who walk into their home and claim they thought they were a burglar."
Please, I am dying for a laugh today:)
