More Self-Defense in California

It is really becoming more common for law-abiding people in California to defend themselves. Homeowner shoots, kills intruder in Riverside County, sheriff says | KTLA

The homeowner told dispatchers that they were armed with a firearm. The suspect, officials said, eventually forced his way inside and was shot.

Deputies arrived at the scene around 11 p.m. where they found the suspect suffering from his wounds. Paramedics responded and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Riverside County, California is a geographically large county just east of Los Angeles and Long Beach. It stretches from about 40 miles east of the coast, east to the Arizona state line.

While they did take the homeowner in for questioning, no one was arrested. The investigation is on going.

The reporters in LA are getting more in tune with the ins and outs of self-defense. If anyone asked insane questions, this reporter, or the editor at least, didn't include them in the story. They seem to be coming to an understanding that self-defense is both a human right, and your legal right.

Then again, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
