not receiving a lot of attention but could have profound impact is an expansion of the state s stand your ground law. according to one interest campaigning against this legislation, mayors against illegal guns coalition, after georgia passed the current stand your ground law, the number of justify ibl homicides increased by 83%. the presence of more guns could ultimately drive violent crime down. the new expansion would make defense of yourself or others an absolute defense to any criminal gun charge, even if that gun was obtained illegally. the bill could pass next week when the 24 session will end. we re joined by collin goddard. colin himself was shot four times and critically wounded during the virginia tech massacre and uses that xperngs as an advocate to try to prevent gun violence. thanks for joining us. thanks for having me.
