Law-abiding residents should be able to protect themselves.
Since the Michigan Legislature is currently considering legislation affecting self-defense measures, Dick DeVos issued the following statement regarding the package of legislation known as the “Home is Your Castle” doctrine:
“There have been and will continue to be many debates surrounding the rights given to us in the Second Amendment. Let me be clear: I support the rights granted to us by our Founding Fathers to keep and bear arms, and that is why I support the legislation known as the ‘Home is Your Castle’ doctrine.
“Protecting loved ones from danger is a natural response and people shouldn’t be punished for protecting their family. Every person should have the right to defend oneself and their family in the case of a forceful and unlawful break-in, without the fear of being sued for civil damages.”
