HB 89 - Threat of Force (10-20-Life)

On the 11th I sent a communication related to SB448 (10-20 Life) which is the companion bill to HB89. The Senate bill was in the Rules Committee and I asked you to make contact with the Senator's at that time. Below is the link to the actual communication that I sent.

HB 89 meets House floor vote tomorrow! We need your immediate help to ensure it passes!

House Bill 89 - Threat of Force sponsored by Rep. Neil Combee meets the entire House for a floor vote tomorrow, Wednesday, March 19th. The passage of this bill is absolutely crucial to protect law-abiding citizens who use the threat of deadly force in self-defense from being coerced into accepting a plea deal to avoid a lengthy sentence under 10-20-Life.

The 10-20-Life mandatory minimums law was enacted with the sole purpose of toughening punishment of violent criminals who use firearms during the commission of crimes, thus keeping them off the streets for a longer time. Recently however, overzealous prosecutors have figured out they could use the law to threaten people who displayed a firearm in self-defense, by charging them with aggravated assault, conviction on which would be a felony and subject to 10-20-Life.

Some of today's legislators voted on the 10-20-Life bill, and they say it was NEVER intended to be used in this manner. It has been said that it is legally less dangerous to pull the trigger on an assailant than it is to simply display a firearm to scare them off.

HB 89 protects those who display a firearm in self-defense. Please help us put an end to the persecution of law-abiding citizens at the hands of unscrupulous states attorneys and activist judges.

Once again I apologize for the quick action needed and ask you to understand that this just hit my inbox this evening.There is so much activity in Tallahassee that needs our attention that it is difficult to keep up. I have 5 more communications ready to go and am trying to space them out.
