Michigan - Stand your ground under assault

 

There is a an effort to repeal Michigan's "Stand Your Ground Law" by having a petition drive to put it  on November's ballot and to influence legislators at the state capitol in Lansing to repealing the law.

"We will make sure that on this November ballot that we get the opportunity to strike a blow for justice for Trayvon Martin, to strike a blow for justice for Renisha McBride," says Rev. Charles Williams of the Detroit National Action Network."

 

 

Changes to lose your ground, isnt that what we have in nj?

What we have is retreat, retreat, retreat!

They're trying it also in Florida - See This thread in "1st Amendment Lounge."

Because this will stop the decay of Detriot...

There is one silver lining. Detroit's Police Chief James Craig is pro-gun !

“There’s a number of [Concealed Pistol License (CPL)] holders running around the city of Detroit. I think it acts as a deterrent. Good Americans with CPLs translates into crime reduction. I learned that real quick in the state of Maine.”

 

Cheif Craig was also Police Chief of Cincinnati (just across the river from here). I thought he did a good job over there as well. Perhaps the police chief needs to talk to the "Detroit National Action Network" and set them straight. Here are some more  interesting items from that article.

 

 

"In just one week in the city of Detroit, there were three armed citizen self defense shootings, which resulted in three arrests, no physical injuries to the victims, and the deaths of two very violent and dangerous predators.

In all, it has been a great week for “Good Americans With Guns.” In addition, Chief Craig will continue to beat the drum for an armed local citizenry. With any luck, more Detroit residents will heed the call and become legally armed in Detroit."

 

Now if we can only get more pro-gun Police Chiefs to go on record as Chief Craig did, it would be a very good thing.
