LASD revokes permit of guy who defended family... for "yelling"

This is spot on and the answer to his problems.

People seem to forget that you can CCW all day and night long on your own property without a permit but his own video, and likely statements to Five-O after had him telling them he went out for and came back with food, all while CCWing with a gun that wasn't on his permit.

Game. Set. Match.

It is hardly spot on. He could have been transporting that pistol in a locked container inside of his vehicle, unloaded, and legally - as so many Californians without permits do on the regular. When he drove into his gated property, he could have retrieved and loaded the pistol in seconds, exited his vehicle and legally carried it without a permit - never having broken any law.

And that is *exactly* what many of us would have done were we in the same boat. If you don't have a permit or the gun on your permit is inop or stolen, you carry unloaded in a lock box on the seat next to you.

I see a lot of armchair quarterbacks, and not-lawyers making presumptions here. Unless you can prove he didn't do what I just outlined was possible for him to have done, then you shouldn't be projecting a crime onto him.

For him to get inside the house, he would've had to turn his back on the scumbags. He was already in the middle of a gun fight. They were continuing to shoot as they fled. He mentioned in his interview, that they were shooting even after they went over the wall.

The long corridor to his front door was the fatal funnel, no place for cover or concealment. He chose to fight his way out of the fatal funnel and get to cover/concealment (his car). He got off the X. He survived.

Ok, that makes sense. It would have taken several seconds for him to unlock the door. It was a life or death situation. In that moment, he chose to ensure that they would not shoot him in the back while he spending those seconds opening the door. Even though they had gone around the bend (how far? maybe only just), they could have easily turned back and fired at him.
