Castle Doctrine

Pennsylvania is the 27th State to pass 'Castle Doctrine' Legislation

"Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett signed the state's Castle Doctrine legislation into law on last week, making PA the 27th state to permit law-abiding citizens to use force, including deadly force, against an attacker in their home and any place they have a legal right to be. It also protects individuals from civil lawsuits by an attacker or attacker’s family when force is used."
               
The bill passed in the state House in a 164-37 vote and in the state Senate, 43-4.
