California Gun Owners Beware: ‘Duty to Retreat’ Required in New Bill
The California gun prohibition lobby is hailing a new Assembly bill that includes a duty to retreat “When the person was outside of their residence and knew that using force likely to cause death or great bodily injury could have been avoided with complete safety by retreating,” but the measure is drawing a barrage of criticism from Republicans.

Christ, Kenny....you gotta be so glad you left that fuckin state.
ReplyDeleteYou know it.
DeleteMe too! I left CA after 67 years. Other than increased allergies, which I’ve subdued with meds, I can’t think of anything that we don’t like about Tennessee.
Deletehere in Florida, we have STAND YOUR GROUND on the books. On your feet or on your knees in Commifornia.
ReplyDeleteThis state continues to go too far and I keep wondering what it's going to take to finally send people over the edge. I thought it might be electric rates, then free health care for illegals, then the Palisades fire, newscums stealing covid funds, then more rate hikes. But no, it's more la,la,la,la. Everything is fine.
ReplyDeletePleae tell me that law applies to the police as well.
ReplyDeleteYou silly boy. Don't you know current and retired California law enforcement officers have been exempted from every gun law passed in the state since the beginning of time?
DeleteHere's a quote from the knucklehead who introduced this bill-
ReplyDelete"The goal is to prevent wannabe vigilantes like Kyle Rittenhouse from provoking violence & claiming self-defense after the fact. We will amend the bill to make this crystal clear.”
He obviously knows nothing of the facts in the Kyle Rittenhouse case. Or he's an idiot. Or he's a liar. Or he's just a typical craven California Democrat ideologue.
How about all four!!!
Delete"... and knew that using force likely to cause death or great bodily injury could have been avoided with complete safety by retreating". So now you're required to have ESP and know that something can be avoided? There are some mighty thin sets of circumstances that would satisfy that.
ReplyDeleteNot willing to bet the lives of myself or loved ones on that.
DeleteBesides, I'm thinking my Crip Card trumps Duty to Retreat.
". . . the measure is drawing a barrage of criticism from Republicans."
ReplyDeleteAll seven of them?
The law is written to take away the individual's right to self preservation without looking like the state is infringing on the individual's rights.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I got out of that Hellscape.
Massachusetts did the same thing back in the 70's. Mike Dukakis was an absolute joke.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I self-deported in '90.

Serious question... If I'm already in my house, and they're outside breaking in... Where am I supposed to "retreat" to???!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, come on! Retreat out the back door - everybody knows criminals act alone.
Delete"You a funny guy"
DeleteWonder how that deposition would go... "Yeah I slid out the back and chilled, while "they" raped my wife and daughter, killed my dogs, (or vice versa)...(or both) and stole my stuff."
These "lawmakers" are INSANE!
Take one step into my house, uninvited... Scooter, you made the "big" mistake.
"I gotta' get out of this place"
Any homes for sale in your AO? (kidding/ not kidding)
Indiana...shoot 'em if you got 'em.
