Thats calguns for you, 90% on here will armchair quarterback it to death how they would have reacted differently in situations like this.

Yeah and it seems like a lot of that armchair qbing involves the good old sheep mentality of hide in your house, peeking out the window while waiting for the professionals, apparently under all circumstances. I don't believe in playing Rambo and I think Zimmerman was an idiot wannabe, but sometimes you have to man up and do what is necessary to protect people, if you are the only one in position to do so.

Just bumping this old thread to say...

Technically you can't go outside armed EVEN IF you see someone being murdered in your front yard. You're not allowed to step foot out your door with a firearm in this state.....

Factually that's incorrect. You are legally able to come to the aid of others, certainly if they are being murdered. You'll also find many Calgunners who have legally stepped outside their front door with a exposed firearm and can do it without breaking any laws. Depends on the circumstances.

I dont agree with it and think its total bullcrap. Just a cautionary tale. I may (or may not) have gone outside with my piece once or a dozen times in my life. Just hope it'll be a deterrent and you never have to pull the trigger, because even if you accomplished something positive the law will not be kind to you for your troubles.

That's why the criminals have the upper hand in California, Chicago and New York. The demonizing of legal gun owners/decent people in general.

Not true. I am not very good at looking up and quoting penal codes, but I am sure someone will come along and post the exceptions. If you feel like you need to be armed in any situation, you better get armed, or hide under the bed.
