let
kiss is a wonderful little story coming on the uh...
just i guess uh...
the day before gun appreciation day what day was data gun appreciation day it was
on saturday on saturday
on friday this story
came out of the seattle times
sent to us a hectic can champion
of washington state lawmaker last week withdrew a bill
to limit the self-defense rights
of gun owners
sherry appleton
house bill one though want to was filed last month was spurred on by the trade
on martin shootings last february
the bill would require a person to retreat from a dangerous confrontation
that person knows or should know that doing so would afford complete safety in
other words if you know
that you can't completely diffuse any threat that you perceive to be uh...
taking place in your bottle sidebar
on your person
by retreating and knowing that you can be completely safe
in other words as standard on uh... stand your ground laws
say now if you're standing outside of a bunker
of a lot
bulletproof bunker
and you see a guy with a gun
and you know that you can take one step backwards and shut that door nbsp
perfectly safe and no one else is gonna get harmed
then you have an obligation to do so
rather than i don't know take out your gun and shoot that person or that
person's home let god night and you feel threatened you don't you don't have the
right to shoot that person if you have
and obvious point ever treat that will make you sick
seems like a very reasonable law
proposed by sherry appleton
washington state is one of at least twenty nine states with no explicit duty
to retreat
some other states employ a castle doctrine exempting a person in his home
from the duty to retreat
well here
she has withdrawn that bell
because she was receiving so many
threats on our life by telephone and email
the threat so against appleton which were among more than one hundred e-mails
and telephone call she received after the bill
uh... were non-specific but very scary setters justin donna bears on
and their system as a man shown her of the worst ones
they were forwarded to the estate house represented security office
adult in conceded the bill would have been uh... could've been written more
narrowly but should threats have left
her feel full and unwilling to pursue
any such legislation again
not a farm eyesore dad uh... to have to live with those kinds of threats ill
have to be somebody else that will do the bell i can't blame
represent a match shade
republican from spokane valley for gun enthusiasts teddy was heartened by the
strong negative response to the measure but he condemned any physical threats
how big a half
like when the grassroots that's involved like they did in a car up and say hi
we oppose this that's grassroots activism at its
find it
anytime on uh... anyone on either side of the august threaten obviously that
doesn't help
could you imagine him like he's leading uh... a seminar for his constituents is
like alright his they do it
he puts it
everybody in my guns that's the right way
how police stop
we threatened bodily harm that's right that's not helpful
really just these people are sick
