LOUISIANA
On June 30, Governor Kathleen Blanco (D) signed HB 1097, by
Representative Eric LaFleur (D-38). This NRA-backed legislation grants
civil immunity to crime victims who lawfully use force up to and
including deadly force to protect themselves against a violent attack.
HB 1097 is the companion bill to HB 89 (also by Representative LaFleur),
the NRA-supported "Castle Doctrine" bill, which created presumptions in
law for the use of force against intruders in your home, car, or place
of business, and explicitly states in law that you have no "duty to
retreat" from criminal attack if you are in a place where you have a
legal right to be. HB 89 was signed by the Governor on June 2, and both
bills take effect on August 15.
NEW JERSEY
Governor Corzine (D) and the New Jersey legislature reached an agreement
on the state budget Thursday afternoon allowing the legislature, along
with proposed anti-gun legislation, to go into summer recess. During
the recess, NRA will be working with House and Senate leadership to
defeat these proposed bills. Please keep checking your e-mail and
www.NRAILA.org for updates.
NEW YORK
Mayor Joseph Delfino (R) and the Common Council of the City of White
Plains has proposed an anti-gun local law, Introductory Local Law No. 3,
which affects businesses and owners of air pistols and air rifles, also
known as BB or pellet guns. A public hearing has been scheduled for
August 7, 2006. Introductory Local Law No. 3 would require any person
who sells, possesses or transports any air pistol or air rifle to obtain
a license and pay an annual fee in the City of White Plains. Violators
of this local law will be guilty of a misdemeanor and may have to pay a
fine or serve jail time. In order to stop this proposed anti-gun
legislation, attendance at this public hearing is needed! The public
hearing is August 7, 2006, at 7:30 p.m., to be held at the Council
Chambers on 255 Main Street. Please contact Mayor Delfino and the
Common Council members immediately at (914) 422-1411 and ask him or her
to oppose Introductory Local Law No. 3. To find contact information on
