Lol. CA is a commie state but even the cops are tired of the horseshit from the DA and board of stupidvisors.

California?

The story is from Sam Francisco. I mean if you want to lambast one state for being a “commie” state, this is it.

Maryland is sadly almost as bad.

Brandashing in CA is considered a use of force... its crazy.

It is in most states, as it is a threat of force. The next step is determining if it's legal
1
Well my understanding from the courses I've taken, its not legal in California in this instance. The guy shoved another. He brandished a firearm. Firearm = deadly force. I would be shocked if charges were NOT filed against him in SF of all places.

Exactly
What happened here is not legal in most states.
It's stunning the number of people here who think this was legal

This can't be true. Liberals said the store owner would have been killed by his own weapon.

r/liberalgunowners would like a word with you

They done had it. Told me not to come back.

So you said something completely unrelated to the fact that we support shop owners, like this, defending their property with guns, and now "they done had it"
...gotcha...

My favorite part of that sub is the guy posting his rifle on a Biden flag... Biden's policies would make that rifle (& mag) illegal...

In his defense there are a lot of liberals who say that. Just not as many on reddit.

Well done. I would have called the police too, but I wasn’t in the situation.

Looks to me like the guy in blue is engaging in a verbal altercation.

Like "let me pass" and "stop shoving me?"

No. He walked towards him several times and his wife attempted to pull him back several times.
There was direct engagement. Just walk away.

He walked towards him because the attacker was blocking him from going into the shop. He was trying to get in. I cant figure out if you just like being contrarian or if you are watching a different video than the rest of us. It is very clear who is the attacker and who is the victim.

I’m just saying he didn’t disengage.

Not the best way for such things to happen, but everyone lived and no shots were fired. Good job.
Most of the time just letting them know you have the upper hand is enough.
Lethal force or threat thereof is not justified against a shove
From a ccw perspective, you just broke concealment and lost element of surprise.
In this scenario an assault has already taken place threat thereof is assault (equal response)
And at that close distance having greater access to your firearm is one less step in your draw from concealed
Using a gun against hands/pushing/shoving is, absent other factors like infirmity or age, not justified in any state.
You're still in non-lethal, and weapons that you could use are hands/feet, taser, pepper spray, baton/blunt force striking objects, etc
Sounds like you're the guy who writes fortune cookies.
