The National Rifle Association is supporting measures in the Alaska House regarding self-defense and protecting gun rights.
The NRA's Brian Judy testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday on HB24 and HJR4.
HB24, from Republican Rep. Mark Neuman would allow people to use deadly force in self-defense in any place they have a legal right to be, more commonly referred to as a "stand-your-ground" law. Neuman has tried, unsuccessfully, to get the bill passed during the past several years.
HJR4, by Republican Rep. Charisse Millett, urges President Barack Obama to rescind his 23 executive actions related to guns and asks Congress to refrain from passing legislation that restricts the right to bear and keep arms.
Both measures were held in committee.
