Self-Defense in the San Francisco Bay Area

It seems that self-defense may be legal in California. No charges in shooting death of 20-year-old Richmond man

And this police department and DA have moved at warp speed, considering it is a blue state.

Contra Costa County prosecutors won’t be filing charges in the fatal shooting of a 20-year-old Richmond man, saying the person who shot him Nov. 8 did so in self-defense, Richmond police announced Friday.

Richmond is in the east Bay Area, being about 10 miles north of Oakland, California.

On Friday, police revealed new details, saying Hammond pulled out a gun after a person brandished a gun at him inside the store. Hammond then exited and fired multiple shots, hitting a second person who was entering the store.

That person returned fire, fatally wounding Hammond, police said. They left the scene and sought treatment for their wounds at a local hospital.

Self-defense is a human right, and it may even be your legal right in California.
