Bullock joined D.C. anti-gunners in opposing self defense gun bill

Posted on October 13, 2012 by Montana Statesman in Steve Bullock

Over the objections of anti-gun Montana Attorney General Steve Bullock, legislators in 2009 passed HB 228, a new self-defense statute protecting citizens’ right of self-defense.

“The new statute squarely puts the law in the hands of the citizens, by plainly stating they have no duty to retreat if attacked in a place where they have a right to be. The law also allows armed citizens to use force or threaten the use of force when he or she reasonably believes an attack is
about to occur, or to stop an attack already in progress,” Daily Paul reports.

“Many of our members are Montana sportsmen and gun owners,” said American Tradition Partnership Montana Director Doug Lair.

“Steve Bullock tried to strip Montanans of their right to defend themselves in their homes, farms and ranches. That’s the worst way to violate property rights, by making our homes ‘safe work zones’ for violent criminals,” said Lair.
