Okay untamed listen up because I'm going to give you the straight scoop on the contradictions of law currently on the books in California and other associated factors.

1. The fact of the matter is this, we as citizens are told that on the one hand we can defend ourselves in our homes, however, if we do and the dirtbag lives, we can be sued. If a person is financially unable to support themselves in a civil suit, they are effectively screwed.

2. We are told that we can defend ourselves in public against an attack, however we are restricted by laws like 12020, 12025 and 12031 from carrying an effective weapon for self defense.

3. If a citizen chooses to ignore the law, and is caught with said effective weapon, said person is vilified and labeled a criminal for daring to go against the states edicts.

4. Anyone who even talks about carrying an effective weapon is labeled a vigilante and shamed into compliance with the other sheeple.

5. Most police in California will even discourage the carrying of legal effective weapons for self defense and encourage the citizenry to call 9-1-1 for help. Meanwhile we still have ignorant laws on the books like PC 150 that make it a misdemeanor to not come to a cops aid if he or she is getting their @$$ kicked.

6. Lets not forget that while we are disarmed and have to rely on the police for protection, the courts have ruled that police are not obligated to protect us personally. So, it becomes a crap shoot in that if you choose to actually stand against criminal behavior, you are effectively on your own unless others around you choose to stand shoulder to shoulder with you or you're lucky enough to have a cop around when you actually need one.

7. Then there is the police attitude. If you should decide to stand against criminal behavior, most cops will make stupid assessments that you are "trying to play police". If you do call 9-1-1 and report criminal behavior, if you're lucky, a unit will drive through the area 30 minutes after the dirtbags are gone. That is unless you mention maybe seeing one of them with a gun (hint hint).

The bottom line is this, liberals have become the overwhelming majority in this state and have elected the feel good socialists that have brought us to this point. So, while I stand with you and agree with your frustration, liberals will have to decide what they want California to look like. As for me, I'm considering the alternatives to California like Texas, South Carolina, and Florida.
