Self-defense rests on attitude, and it sounds like this guy had it in buckets. California Home Invader Disarmed by Resident, Killed With Own Gun
In the San Francisco area, not only did the gun control laws they love so much fail to keep a teenager disarmed, but his lack of knowledge led to fatal consequences for him.
This incident took place in Fremont, California, which is in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. Fremont is about a 15 mile drive north of San Jose, and about 25 mile drive south of Oakland.
The residents suffered "non-life-threatening injuries." In other words, it sounds like they got banged up in the altercation, but are otherwise fine.
Good on them, too.
While this sounds like a completely justifiable case of self-defense to me, I am not the prosecuting attorney in Alameda County, California. I have no idea how the prosecutor in that corner of the Bay Area feels about self-defense.
Self-defense is a human right.
Good chance the homeowner will face charges. Because the DA will take the position that once the invader was disarmed they were no longer a threat.
