Stand Your Ground Debate

Tough words in the legislature today over the state's version of Florida's 'stand your ground' law. Dem. Sen. Jack Hatch of Des Moines says 'we can no longer consider the tranquility of Iowa to be part of the Wild West show where vigilantes can take charge - maybe in good intent of the legislation - but going way beyond the intent.” GOP Sen. Mark Chelgren responded, “The death of a young man should not be used as an excuse to attack the liberties that we have in this country."
