Stop spreading FUD. That's not how self defense laws work in California.

You absolutely have the right to brandish, and use, a gun to defend yourself and/or your family if your home is being invaded. Or even on the street.

Stand your ground laws are about the right to use violent or deadly force in a situation where you are not at home and could otherwise retreat and avoid harm. Also, California has the Castle Doctrine (Penal Code 198.5 PC, https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/blog/penal-code/does-california...).



This is not FUD. Liberal DAs are extremely intense against potential gun crimes. Any concealed carry class will explain that being arrested for a gun crimes in a blue city is almost always going to get you in far more trouble than in a red locality. This is a highly politicized group of crimes, with political decisions made by elected judges on ones fate.

Again, you don't need to be convicted for your chance of going to jail that night approaching 100%, particularly if the gun discharges, regardless of justification.


That is literally FUD...You're making claims which are 100% contrary to how the criminal process actually works.

DAs don't make the decision to arrest you if you're found with a gun during an incident. Cops make that decision. The DA doesn't even see the case file until the next day, at the earliest. So you're problem seems to be with the...liberal police?

And by the way...those "liberal DAs" you're slamming are the ones pushing back against mandatory gun enhancements, which were passed during the Republican era of government in California. LA's ultra-liberal DA was the subject of an attempted recall for trying to ban his DAs from adding gun enhancements to crimes.
