Don't Bring an Ax to Gunfight

Even in California, that won't work too well. California concealed carry holder shoots ax-wielding attacker on his property

I'm not sure why this is only showing up in my news searches this week, but better late than never.

"Deputies determined that the property owner located Larios sitting in his vehicle on the property and was stuck in the mud," the Facebook post said.

"The property owner then tried to help him get his car unstuck when Larios became angry and grabbed an axe from the trunk of his car. He then began swinging the axe in a threatening way."

Add in a legally carried weapon - though I don't believe that even in California you need a permit to be armed on your own property - and the ax-wielding, ingrate got what he had coming.

Cops were on their way when the shooting happened. They arrived and provided first aid.

The shooting was determined to be justified self-defense and Larios is currently in custody "pending criminal charges", according to the release.

Luis Larios is in custody, but charges have not been announced. Assault with a deadly weapon will probably head the list.

Self-defense is a human-right, and even in The People's Republic of California, it may be your legal right.
