Frequently Asked Questions

What is California Assembly Bill 1333?

California Assembly Bill 1333 is a proposed law that would require individuals outside their homes to retreat from an attacker before using deadly force, even if their life is threatened. It also aims to modify self-defense justifications within the home, which critics argue severely curtails the right to self-defense.

How does AB 1333 change self-defense laws in California?

AB 1333 would reintroduce a 'duty to retreat' for individuals attacked outside their homes, meaning they must attempt to escape if safely possible before resorting to deadly force. It also seeks to alter the legal framework for self-defense within one's own residence, potentially making it harder to justify such actions.

Who opposes California's AB 1333 bill?

Several California law enforcement officials, including Tehama County Sheriff Dave Kaine and Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, have voiced strong opposition to AB 1333. They argue it hinders law-abiding citizens while benefiting criminals and is a ridiculous piece of legislation.

What is the 'Stand Your Ground' principle?

'Stand Your Ground' laws, which exist in many states, generally allow individuals to use deadly force in self-defense without a duty to retreat, provided they are lawfully present and facing an imminent threat. AB 1333 seeks to move away from this principle in California.

What can people do to oppose AB 1333?

Residents of California are urged to contact their state representatives and voice their opposition to AB 1333. Even those outside California can contact California legislators to express their concerns, as the bill could set a national precedent.
