Self Defense Laws Tag

California is a progressive state, which means that its views lean towards the more liberal side of politics. Gay marriage is legal and capital punishment is shunned. When it comes to weapons laws, California is liberal, but also pragmatic - they know how to create penal codes that punish people who use weapons legally and illegally. For instance, if you were trying to protect yourself from an intruder, you probably wouldn't be charged if you killed the intruder. Plus, the constitution protects the right to bear arms. When it comes to owning and using knives, the same tenets, regulations, rights, and laws apply.
