WA HB 2067 - Elimination of defense cost reimbursement

[xd2005]

I'm guessing this is a bill introduced each year to push a personal agenda, but I really do not know. Something to watch, I just can't say whether it is something to be concerned over.

House Bill 2067 (Eliminating reimbursement for defense costs of persons acquitted on the basis of self-defense) Introduced by Rep. Ross Hunter, (D-Medina) (D) on April 9, 2011, repeals a section of current law which allowed for reimbursement of the cost of defense for a person acquitted on the basis of self-defense.

More abuse and intimidation tactics aimed at law abiding persons whose lives were in danger from criminal scum and were forced to take action to defend themselves or another innocent

Worthy legislation from a real scumbag.. here's the message: "If you're not rich and well insured you might want to just get beaten or raped and endure it, maybe even allow yourself to be murdered, because you or your surviving family are possibly going to lose everything in the aftermath"

This is absurd, I wrote my local rep, and will write a couple more.

Wrote Ed Orcutt an email and asked him NOT to support it. He's pretty pro-gun so I'm hoping he can see through what's going on.

80 MILLION gun owners didn't shoot anyone today, a few criminals did!

Here's the answer I got back from Ed Orcutt:

It looks like a pretty bad idea to take away reimbursements for defense costs when you are acquitted for self defense. Seems like if you were a victim to start with, you shouldn't be held to pay to defend yourself when defending yourself was the whole reason for the incident in the first place.
