Petitions for change.

We, the undersigned, petition the government of the Bahamas to introduce this law to give homeowners clear rights that guarantee they will not be prosecuted or subject to civil action for protecting themselves, their loved ones or their property from burglars, home invasion and persons seeking to harm.

A Castle Doctrine law designates a person's place of residence as a place in which he or she enjoys protection from illegal trespassing and violent attack. It then goes on to give that person the legal right to use deadly force to defend that place and any other innocent persons legally inside it from violent attack or an intrusion which may lead to violent attack.

This is a petition for the government of the Bahamas to change & update firearms laws that protect the law-abiding citizen of the Bahamas, who follow the law, was vetted and received a firearms license. Bahamian citizens are constantly victimized by authorities for policies that keep the law-abiding citizen at risk and vulnerable to the criminal element.

Law abiding citizens, with a LICENSED FIREARM, without fear of harassment and victimization by law enforcement, should be able to:

1. Use their LICENSED FIREARM for home defense and protection of their businesses.
2. A National Firearms Certification should be established for proper civilian firearms training. Once civilians complete and pass certification, they should qualify to receive a LICENSED FIREARM (pistol, rifle, shotgun) once vetted and approved.
