Frequently Asked Questions

What is California Assembly Bill 1333?

California Assembly Bill 1333 is proposed legislation that aims to re-establish a 'duty to retreat' for individuals when they are outside their residence and need to use force in self-defense. This means individuals might be legally required to attempt to escape a dangerous situation before resorting to force.

How does AB1333 relate to the Bruen decision?

AB1333 is described as a 'Bruen response bill.' The Supreme Court's Bruen decision removed the requirement for 'good cause' to obtain a firearm carry permit in California. AB1333 seeks to counteract the effects of Bruen by potentially limiting self-defense capabilities through the reintroduction of a duty to retreat.

What are the potential consequences of AB1333 for self-defense?

If passed, AB1333 could make self-defense unjustifiable if a prosecutor determines that injury 'could have been avoided with complete safety by retreating.' This places a significant burden on individuals, as prosecutors may scrutinize every action to find an escape route, potentially leading to legal trouble for those acting in self-defense.
