MS: Pols consider expanded recognition of RKBA: "Four bills pending in the Legislature would broaden [sic] the right for people to shoot trespassers in their homes, cars or businesses. Senate Judiciary A Committee Chairman Charlie Ross, R-Brandon, who co-authored Senate Bill 2426, said the legislation will take the burden of proof off of victims of burglaries or carjackings who use deadly force. 'Anytime someone threatens you or attacks you, you do not have to retreat, you can stand your ground,' Ross said. Sen. Ralph Doxey, R-Holly Springs, co-author of the bill, said the legislation also will protect people from civil lawsuits. Three similar pieces of legislation are pending in the Mississippi House."
