>>1391985>CALIFORNIA, USA — A California bill aimed at closing a legal loophole related to self-defense claims is being withdrawn due to 'misleading information.'Okay let's look at this bill and see exactly what it is.
>Existing law makes homicide justifiable when attempting to lawfully suppress a riot or to keep the peace, as specified.>This bill would eliminate that provision. Off to a flying start.
>(b) Homicide is not justifiable when committed by a person in all of the following cases:>(1) When the person was outside of their habitation or property and knew that using force likely to cause death or great bodily injury could have been avoided with complete safety by retreating.>(2) When the person used more force to defend against an imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily injury than a reasonable person would believe is necessary in the same situation.>(3) When the person was the initial aggressor, except if either of the following apply:>(A) The initial aggressor actually and in good faith tried to stop fighting and indicated to the opponent, by word or by conduct and in a way that a reasonable person would understand, that the initial aggressor wanted to stop fighting and had stopped fighting.>(B) In cases of mutual combat, the initial aggressor gave the opponent an opportunity to stop fighting.
