Senate Bill 254 removes the provision in Nevada law protecting people from civil liability when they justifiably use potentially deadly force against a person who is injured or killed while invading their home.
Should a Nevada
resident be financially liable for any injuries a home invader would receive
while a person defends themselves?

It is an absolute disgrace that you would put innocent homeowners at risk for defending their lives or property.
Clearly this is yet another way to assure that attorneys have yet another source of potential income.
The Democrats can pass all these ridiculous bills they want.
If a home invader tries to enter my house, and I have the opportunity, I will shoot first, and litigate later. This is pure and sensible LOGIC.
These progressives are so insane, it is impossible to have a coherent understanding of how their brains. or lack of, work.
I would be mortified if I were associated with Democrats.
Unbelievably ridiculous!
I will make sure any invader is dead if this passes!
