Newsmakers: Sen. Van Wanggaard on Policing Package

I mean, that could have been something where people could have taken and they could have used deadly force just to protect themselves. It's a little different. The Castle doctrine allows you to protect yourself and your business. I wrote that piece of legislation, and it also protects you in your car if somebody's gonna carjack you. You can exercise that doctrine or in your home. But the idea isn't to see how many People we can hurt. The idea is to prevent that from happening. (25:30–25:37)
