Jack Wagner on the Record with Castle Doctrine

While it isn’t the most detailed answer, a pro-gun supporter took the opportunity in today’s live chat to ask Auditor General Jack Wagner about his position on Castle Doctrine. Here is the exchange:

Auditor General Jack Wagner: Adam Z – I have not analyzed HB 40; however, I do believe that an individual should be able to protect himself or herself in his or her own home.
