Comment on Wednesday Morning Read: Town halls, Hawkeyes win, gun bill

Stand your ground - Iowa would be the latest state to adopt a stand-your-ground law if a proposal for revisions in gun regulations filed this week comes to pass.Cedar County Sheriff Warren Wethington said he supports the stand-your-ground provision, arguing that retreating is not always an option.“Even if there is a stand-your-ground law, you still have to be able to articulate why someone was going to use deadly force or cause serious injury to you or a loved one,” Wethington said.Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek, however, doesn’t feel the current law needs changing when it comes to reasonable force.“What I’m concerned about with stand your ground is that it will make it much easier for someone to take someone’s life and simply say, ‘I felt threatened,’” he said.
