Minnesota Considers Extending Castle Doctrine: …A bill awaiting Minnesota legislative action would legally protect people who use deadly force to defend themselves against criminals. The proposal would rewrite laws regulating the use of deadly force in self-defense, extending protection to cars and businesses. Current law only protects victims while inside the home… If a person enters a home without permission, then “there is a presumption that he is there to do you at least substantial bodily harm,” Cornish said. “He ain't there to sell Girl Scout cookies.” Sen. Pat Pariseau, R-Farmington, said some people get sued by criminals after they defend themselves. Pariseau said this is “not a license to go out and shoot people. We have to enable people to not be placed in a position of legal risk,” Rep. Steve Drazkowski, R-Wabasha, said. “You shouldn't have to back down,” Sen. Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, said… (This section is about two-thirds of the way down the page.)

Good for them! No sense in waiting for the loonies to come at us- push back once in awhile... 
ETA: the loonies in the legislature. I would never condone pushing back at loonies in the real world. It could upset them and/or their case workers.

Email from Tony
Quote: PocketProtector642,
Unfortunately, the bill will not be heard this session. The NRA has made a commitment to help out next year and make a real run at it. Strategy will be better then also, with it being election year.
Also, we are working very hard on the uncased gun bill this year and that is progressing nicely thru committees and I expect it to be on the floor next week or the following.
Thanks, Rep Tony Cornish
Good Thunder, Mn.
