Well I agree to this... we don't need to turn into a FLORIDA STAND YOUR GROUND law. I am completely for self defense but that takes the cake.

In CA there is no duty to retreat if life/limb are in danger. CA is ahead of other states in this area - which is, in effect, 'stand your ground'.


(You can't shoot/assail someone in simple defense of property, and there's no "Texas caught after sundown on your property provision".)

for how much longer though Bill?

This was told to me (and others) by Don Kilmer, who spoke at length about this.

In northern CA there's too much chance a missed shot might hit a homeless person or a bum standing in the intersection trying to beg for $$$.

Besides, he has as much right to the car as the driver does in fact, he has a greater right because you - having bought the thing in the 1st place - have the ability to replace it and go on with your life. The bum - being a bum - has already demonstrated that he can't get a car by legitimate means so his only recourse is to get one by any means available to him.

This wouldn't be a problem if you valued people more than your precious possessions!

As silly as that sounds, I guarantee there are folks in San Fran who think that's absolutely straight thinking.

Why can't California think like this? Prozac and other paranoia
