| For | This bill should not be left in committee. A persons right and responsibility to defend what is theirs against a criminal attempt to take it should not be compromised by considerations of losing all they have worked for by a legal attempt to take it by the same criminal. How can this be disregarded? It most directly affects those who have the least resources to legal counsel and private citizens who take a stand on the protection of their rights by the law. | May-16-2011 |

| For | As a homeowner, I believe I have the right to defend my home, and those within it. To be forced by law to not have the right to defend it, and forced to flee is wrong, and must be removed from the law books. | Apr-17-2011 |

| For | The vast majority of constitutents and I strongly favor this bill. | Apr-11-2011 |
| For | We are for this bill on the condition that it doesn't limit a person's right to defend themselves. Lawyers have it all figured out how to write a bill to sound right and just, while at the same time, the wording actually limits one's rights. | Apr-10-2011 |

| For | i believe this is a neceseity in our town. people defending there homes should not be subject to civil lawsuits brought on by 3rd parties of the person entering my home illegally. pretty asanine if you ask me that i can be put in jail or sued were i lose my life style and home because of someother persons actions against me and my family. please push this bill forward to a vote, you never know it may be you next time that falls in this situation. | Apr-04-2011 |

| For | This is common sense. Any individual trained and armed is not leaving their own home under threat of force without a like response. Without this act the state of NV is setting up it's citizens to become criminals just for protecting themselves and what is there's. | Mar-06-2011 |

| For | Any bill that protects potential victims by allowing them to defend themselves without fear of persecution or lawsuit has my vote! Those intent on doing us harm should have to think twice, knowing that if we defend ourselves to their detriment, we are in the right. Their FAMILIES that so often cry out that it was unjustified and sue for money have the wind taken out of their sails by a bill like this. NO profit from their family member's criminal activities should be permitted! Please clearly define "Prov | Mar-01-2011 |

| For | It does not make sense that a good person would not have provisions in the law to protect one's self and family included, because they were expected to run away.

| For | This bill gives Nevadans a much-needed "Castle Doctrine" similar to Texas. It is vital we get this law passed. Las Vegas is a very dangerous city.
