Alaska: House Committee Scheduled to Consider Self-Defense Legislation Tomorrow

[Charlie T Waite]

Tomorrow, the House Community and Regional Affairs Committee is scheduled to consider pro-self-defense legislation, House Bill 11.  Please contact members of the committee and ask them to support HB 11.

House Bill 11, sponsored by Rep. George Rauscher (R-9), cleans up current law to allow for the defensive display of a firearm against a potential threat.  This measure will help law-abiding individuals possibly dissuade imminent violence or attack by allowing them to exclaim or display their possession of a firearm.  Self-defense situations are never cut and dried; passing HB 11 aids in preventing the worst possible outcome if they arise.

Again, please contact members of the House Community and Regional Affairs Committee to SUPPORT House Bill 11.  Those who wish to provide public testimony should call-in 15 min before the hearing. Directions can be found here.
