"They Shoot Horse's Don't They?

I would like to see legislation enacted that gives new legal protection to people who kill intruders in their homes, businesses and vehicles.

This law is already in place in the state of Alabama. Several other state's are also considering making this a new law in their state.

Now I would highly suggest that a video recorder be on your side to help prove your innocence should this terrible act occur. But we must take back our given rights to protect our livelihoods and families. And I feel this law is a step in the right direction.

Couple this new law with the already existing "Crime Victims Compensation Fund" and a deterrent to violent crime will make criminals rethink their actions before they occur!

The Crime Victims Compensation Fund is 100% funded through court costs--no taxpayer money is used. It was set up nearly 25 years ago to help secure awards for crime victims. Just because a case is solved and the perpetrator is sent to jail doesn't mean the medical bills, moving expenses, cleanup costs, lost wages and other unforseen financial burdens ends for the victim.

West Virginia is one of the safest states in all the Union. Let's keep it that way!
