Why Should You Have to Retreat?

Imagine the flood of emotions you’d feel hearing the words “GUILTY” ring out from a Judge’s lips.

Your crime?

You dared to use a firearm in self-defense against a violent criminal who was attacking you and your family.

After hearing the verdict, the smug anti-gun prosecutor cuts you a glance, smiles, and whispers, “Gotcha!”

Both of you knew you did nothing wrong.

But he wants to appear “tough on gun crime.” And he was able to convince the jury you were a madman just itching for a fight.

And right now, under current Wyoming Law, there’s absolutely nothing you can do.

That’s why I’m counting on you to please sign and submit the petitions we’ve prepared for you. More on that below.

As you’ll see, these petitions urge your State Representative and State Senator to cosponsor and vote to pass the Wyoming Stand-Your-Ground Bill.

In 2017, we made a major push for “Gun Free Zone” Repeal.

That will continue to be a focus, but — with the recent passage of Stand-Your-Ground in both Iowa and Missouri — it’s time for Stand-Your-Ground in Wyoming as well!

With the fall session rapidly approaching, my goal is to generate a flood of petitions to place on state legislators’ desks as soon as they are back in session!

If passed, the Wyoming Stand-Your-Ground Bill — which State Senator Anthony Bouchard will be introducing in the next legislative session — would simply state that law-abiding Wyoming gun owners can defend themselves against criminal attack without fear of being targeted by an anti-gun prosecutor.

Under Stand-Your-Ground, law-abiding gun owners would:

1) Face no so-called “duty to retreat.”

Under current Wyoming law, you have a duty to retreat from a criminal attacker before you can defend yourself or your loved ones.

In a situation where your life is on the line, the LAST thing you want to be thinking about is what some anti-gun judge or prosecutor might say.

2) Receive criminal immunity from anti-gun prosecutors.

In other words, no more anti-gun prosecutors trying to make an example of you — or taking a case to court to make a political statement.

3) Receive civil immunity.

That means the money-grubbing family of some thug you had to defend yourself against can’t come after you in court and sue you for millions!

Without each piece of this three-legged stool — which Wyoming citizens DO NOT currently enjoy — those who defend themselves are effectively sitting ducks.

So every year — from Cheyenne to Cody, from Rock Springs to Laramie — law-abiding gun owners face the prospect of being prosecuted for simply defending themselves!

I’m sure the gun-grabbers think to themselves, “that serves you right!”

After all, whenever some criminal commits some horrific crime, don’t the gun-grabbers always rush to place blame — not on the criminals themselves — but on law-abiding gun owners?

So is it really any surprise Wyoming law doesn’t explicitly protect gun owners — even when it’s your safety at stake?

I don’t know about you, but I believe the law should put the interests of law-abiding Wyoming citizens ahead of common thugs and criminals.

So do a vast majority of Wyoming citizens.

Despite this, gun-grabbers have so far succeeded in derailing passage of Stand-Your-Ground.

But with your help today, I believe those days are numbered.

If you and I can turn up the heat once again, I believe we can FORCE every member of the Wyoming Legislature on record for or against Stand-Your-Ground as soon as they get back in session this fall.

So won’t you please stand with us, and sign your petition in support of Stand-Your-Ground law right away?

In fact, my hope is that when politicians return to Cheyenne, they will see petitions stacked a mile high, all insisting on Stand-Your-Ground.

The good news is, just forcing a vote on Stand-Your-Ground legislation puts you and me in a win/win situation in 2018.

That’s because there’s no vote the gun-grabbers in BOTH parties fear more.

If you and I force public, roll-call votes on Stand-Your-Ground in both houses of the Wyoming State Legislature, ALL the gun-grabbers in BOTH parties will finally be exposed.

Either you and I will get the votes we need to pass Stand-Your-Ground — or gun-grabbers pay the price in the next election.

Second Amendment supporters will make sure of it.

But this effort cannot wait a moment longer.

That’s why I’m counting on your immediate action to make Stand-Your-Ground a reality, and that starts with your signed petition! So please sign yours right away!

But it’s going to take resources I don’t currently have on hand to rally pro-gun Wyoming citizens to our cause.

So in addition to your signed petitions, won’t you please agree to include your most generous contribution right away?

Your generous contribution today will help Wyoming Gun Owners turn up the heat on the State Legislature with a massive grassroots program, including:

>>>  Generating 50,000 petitions from all over Wyoming insisting the State Legislature pass Stand Your Ground;

>>>  Using email, social media and Internet ads to mobilize an additional 15,000 Wyoming gun owners from all over the state;

>>>  Working the blogs and granting media interviews to explain exactly why Stand-Your-Ground would make Wyoming freer and safer;

>>>  Paying for hard-hitting radio, newspaper and even TV ads to ensure politicians are feeling the most heat right before they’re forced to vote.

This is the type of plan it will take to finally make Stand-Your-Ground a reality in Wyoming.

And it’s the type of plan only Wyoming Gun Owners can put into action — and only with your help.

So won’t you please sign your Stand-Your-Ground petitions and submit them back to us IMMEDIATELY?

And if you can, please agree to your most generous contribution of $250 or $100 right away.

I know that’s a lot to ask for.

Of course, if that’s too much, please agree to at least $50 or $25.

Every dollar will help me push for Stand-Your-Ground in Wyoming by mobilizing as many gun owners as possible.

So please sign your Stand-Your-Ground petitions and please include your most generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or at least $25 IMMEDIATELY!

For Freedom,

David Ball
President

P.S. Without Stand-Your-Ground, many law-abiding Wyoming gun owners are sitting ducks for prosecutors who are looking to nail gun owners to the wall.

If passed, Stand-Your-Ground would simply state that law-abiding Wyoming gun owners can defend themselves against criminal attack without having to retreat first and without fear of being targeted by some anti-gun prosecutor.

So please sign your Stand-Your-Ground petitions, and submit them back to Wyoming Gun Owners right away!
