<big> '''The NRA's "Castle Doctrine Act" in Wisconsin'''</big>
<br>
<br>
In 2011, Wisconsin ALEC members introduced AB-69, a bill containing strikingly similar provisions to the ALEC "Castle Doctrine Act" approved by the National Rifle Association. The bill allows homeowners to shoot and kill a person they claim is breaking into their home, without fear of civil liability if it turns out the person shot was innocent, like a girlfriend sneaking in. A marked-up version of AB-69, noting the related sections of the ALEC [http://alecexposed.org/w/images/7/7e/7J2-Castle_Doctrine_Act_Exposed.PDF Castle Doctrine Act], can be found [http://www.alecexposed.org/wiki/File:WI_Castle_Doctrine_%2B_Analysis_AB-69.pdf here].
