Yaki! The BG had an "Automatic"? weapon? For real? or just bad reporting.

"If you in any way feel threatened, you have the right to defend yourself, your property and your homestead," said [Sheriff's Investigator] Kaiser.

I wouldn't mind police giving out legal advice so much if they actually gave it correctly.

Threatened "in any way" authorizes self-defense? So, if a goon tells me he's going to come back later and beat me with a baseball bat, I can shoot him now? Either CA has much less stringent self-defense laws than I thought, or the learned investigator is handing out really, really bad advice.

HERMANNR, listening to the broadcast, it is likely there was an automatic involved ... they are still looking for 2 accomplises ... the homeowner is a legal medical marijuana grower, so he was most likely 'targeted'

Yaki, just got a look at your pal, ooooh, what a beauty!
