An Arkansas lawmaker has filed a "stand your ground" self-defense bill.
Opponents of the House Bill 1059 said it could have unintended consequences but the sponsor, Rep. Aaron Pilkington, R-Clarksville, said he wants to give Arkansans an opportunity to better protect themselves.
“Let's say someone came up to your yard, had a gun, and said, 'I’m going to shoot you, I’m going to kill you for what you did' ... your duty right then is to turn around and go inside your house," Pilkington said. "And the second you turn they could shoot you in the back and you were just trying to follow the law." |

TO REMEMBER |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
