Trace the history with "extension"

[FishingBack]

I had a couple people mention the dreaded "extension of home" just the other day.

Do we know how this got started? It is a very very common mentality. Was there a police chief statement, news piece, AG opinion, or what? It seems embedded into society here.

You're inquiring about the Castle Doctrine I believe,

If so, then you can start HERE

I'm talking about the "your vehicle is an extension of your home" phrase. It's often heard but where did it start? It seems too common not to have some real source. Are you suggesting that because castle law covers vehicles, that the term came into be when the castle law went into effect?

I'm 52 yrs old , and I can remember hearing that back when I was a teenager .

I think the term was around long before the castle law was talked about. Don't know who started it but would like to know.

HB 98 & HB 1097

Signed in by Gov. Blanco believe it or not.

Gov. Kathleen Blanco signed a bill, HB 1097, to legalize the use of deadly force against any intruder into a home, business or vehicle.

A shooter would not have to persuade police that he believed his life was in immediate danger because the changes incorporated in the legislation would presume he acted "reasonably" if evidence shows the entry was unlawful and forced.

Under previous Louisiana law, someone who kills an intruder must prove in court that the use of deadly force was necessary.

The governor earlier signed a companion bill, HB 89, to allow the legal use of force to ward off a violent attack in a home, business or vehicle.

As you can see, 1097 made ABOSLUTE certain about the wording in HB 89.

Being that the law already covered intruders coming into your House, after these two HB's, it was made clear that your business and vehicle or also included.

I understand what you're saying, but the phrase"an extension of your home" was around long before Blanco. I think FB is looking for a bit more etymology.

+1 on that. It was used way before blanko.

We'll that phrase, on the internet, exist only around the Castle Doctrine and the Bills I've posted.

Anything beyond that I'm not sure of.

This geezer already said he heard the phrase over 30 yrs ago . The exact origin will probably never be known .
