Measure to expand homeowners' rights to use deadly force moves to full Minn. Senate

[burf]

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Minnesota residents would have greater freedom to defend their homes with deadly force under a bill headed to the state Senate floor over the objections of police, who said it could endanger officers.

The measure was approved last year by the House. Its passage by a 10-5 vote in the Senate Finance Committee sends it to the full Senate, where supporters predict it will pass. Gov. Mark Dayton said he hadn't decided yet if he would sign or veto the bill.

The Star and Tribune did fail to mention the bill is also favored by some law enforcement in the state. Not surprising though as they have been anti-gun for years.

3. Good for Minnesota

of course the pro-criminal elements will be along shortly to tell how horrible this is and why the rights of the criminal is more important then the rights of the victim.
