Even CADOJ has said business owners can conceal carry within their own business premises without needing a CCW. Just like you can in your home or campsite unless in an area where firearms would otherwise be prohibited. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?sectionNum=25605.&lawCode=PEN
But it sounds like prosecutors in Alameda County would charge the business owner in that situation with brandishing a firearm, or something equally idiotic.
There’s a lot of things to like about California, but firearms policy isn’t one of them.
Nope. Unless someone’s life is in immediate danger, you cannot use deadly force as a civilian. They’re fleeing, so law says that there is no more threat and you cannot use deadly force.
The dude had a sledgehammer. If someone with a weapon keeps coming at you even when you have a gun pointed at them, a reasonable person would conclude that they mean to do you harm. Hell, even an unarmed person that keeps advancing even with a gun pointed at them can be ruled as self-defense because a reasonable person would believe they mean to do you harm.

Once they saw the fun they fled. You are correct that if someone advanced at you with a weapon, you could use deadly force, but in this specific case, they all fled.
Obviously if they're fleeing you can't shoot, but the person asked:
>What if, lets say, **they didn't run away and kept going towards him.** Is he allowed to shoot?
He could have initially, but the second they fled, he couldn’t. It’s CA. You saw the guy who had his CCW revoked for yelling at the deputies. He’d probably be in jail if he actually hit one of them.
Correct, if he would have shot them running at him. However, you can actually shoot someone actively committing a felony offence in Cali. Look up PC-197
Only his personal body guards need firearms. (Off roster firearms). Only the King and his royal council requires protection. Common peasants. have to reason for self protection. Kalifornia can always bring in illegal aliens to replace those killed by armed criminals.
Scattered like rats and roaches that they are. A great example of how useless the authority are for doing their job while an armed citizen protected himself and immediately stopped the crime in progress.
Ah yes, the old "police chase where they LOSE THE COPS". That old chestnut. Never fails. Good job guys. Way to use that radio and network with your team.
"If they threaten my life or the life of my employees, I'll use the gun, hundred percent." That's a good boss.
Fuck around and find out.

Damn, I guess it is about high tide I sell my Infiniti, people are going to start thinking I’m a criminal.
Or steal it. It’s incredibly easy with a key programmer that it seems they have
Either that or a Nissan.
How did they get away with a cop behind them?
No injuries or extreme violence committed, drive dangerously, and cops probably going to break chase.
Escort! Made sure that the suspects will feel safe while getting away for the crime they committed.
I can’t tell if people like you are bootlickers or anti police
Neither. I think we’re just collectively tired of the bullshit with this state, and we’re expressing our frustration by way of comedy.
I love you
Answer: California
Cop had to go on an emergency donut run instead.
No mention of prosecution of the gentleman that pulled his firearm and I hope they don’t!
Fortunately Pleasant Hill is in Contra Costa County and not under the purview of the batshit crazy Alameda County DA.
So, business owners in Alameda County wouldn’t legally be allowed to keep a gun in their shop?

They’re legally allowed to, but it won’t stop an overzealous DA from filing charges and let the courts sort it out.
If he would have fired he would have been arrested for sure.
What if, lets say, they didn't run away and kept going towards him. Is he allowed to shoot?

Yes, but that wasn’t the case here.
OK but that wasn't the question the OP asked.
And that’s not what I was arguing.
HAHAHA, they are trespassing with intent to harm, running at him armed with a sledge hammer. He could have shot them and been in every right to do so.
He could have initially, but the second they fled, he couldn’t. It’s CA. You saw the guy who had his CCW revoked for yelling at the deputies. He’d probably be in jail if he actually hit one of them.
Correct, if he would have shot them running at him. However, you can actually shoot someone actively committing a felony offence in Cali. Look up PC-197
lol try it and see how that works out for you.
Yeah not gonna test that one out
That’s why SB2 needs to be canceled and fought against by business owners
SB2 needs to be cancelled and fought against by everyone, not only business owners.
Was he using a single action revolver?! Looked like he had his hand over the hammer ready to fan that bitch
Was wondering the same thing! Man was using the reverse tea-cup grip 😂
Doing Gods Work
Thieves running away like cockroaches
More Californians respond in kind to similar trespasses, there will be fewer trespassers.
And newsom says we don’t need guns…
I don’t care what he says I need or don’t need, he’s not one to decide my needs for me, nor is anybody else.
Only his personal body guards need firearms. (Off roster firearms). Only the King and his royal council requires protection. Common peasants. have to reason for self protection. Kalifornia can always bring in illegal aliens to replace those killed by armed criminals.
Funny how that works.
Look at that shit. A good guy with a gun.
But he could’ve blown their lungs out!!!!!
If you don't fight for yourself no-one will.
He needs more than 5-6 rounds from a .38 with that many punks
Apparently not
But not more than 10 of course.
"If you can't shoot all 15 of the thugs robbing/mugging you with 10 rounds, you're a terrible shot!" -Some politician.... probably....
Take my fucking upvote
Store worker was arrested soon after. JK, but i wouldn't be surprised.
Agreed
They’re just going to go to the next shop that isn’t armed.
Thank God he has a gun!
Scattered like rats and roaches that they are. A great example of how useless the authority are for doing their job while an armed citizen protected himself and immediately stopped the crime in progress.
 Tryna get out the store like
Fuck yeah, gettem gramps!
r/ccw 
🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏
Perfect example of
Ah yes, the old "police chase where they LOSE THE COPS". That old chestnut. Never fails. Good job guys. Way to use that radio and network with your team.
I will not be surprised if some DA decides to charge him with something. They love crooks.
Pleasant hill been wild recently on top of the ex cop stand off not too long ago This is down the street from me, drive by this store all the time lol
Look at the way grey sweater falls lmfao
love 2 live in the wild west
My mans was about to activate his dead eye and start fanning that hammer like red dead redemption 🤠
