The House Courts of Justice Criminal Subcommittee has scheduled a meeting for today and it will take place after the adjournment of the full Courts Committee. HB 251 and HB 854, two Castle Doctrine bills, are on the docket to be heard in the subcommittee. Castle Doctrine legislation has been a priority of VSSA of a number of years and a number of VSSA members regularly ask when Virginia is going to pass Castle legislation.
