California GUTTING Its Self-Defense Law to Favor Criminals

California is planning a change to the its self-defense law that would make lawful defense of self, family, and home against criminal predators more dangerous, and enable prosecutors to convict of defenders for acts of self-defense that is currently perfectly lawful.

These changes put California on the wrong side of self-defense history. Over the last several decades the laws allowing for defense of self and home have been made more sensible for the lawful defender and more dangerous for the criminal predator.

Indeed, in my 30+ year legal career, no state has moved to make its self-defense law more treacherous for defenders and more favorable for criminal predators—except California, now, in 2025.

Let’s talk about anti-defender, pro-criminal California Assembly Bill 1333, and what it really does.
