Re: California police frowning on self-defense, want gun owners to simply comply with robbers
In the meantime, the police are giving gun owners a piece of their mind. Albert Morales, the San Jose Police spokesman, said, "We don't recommend (drawing a gun or firing). We would have preferred that they just go ahead and comply with the request or demands of the robbers. Again they were after material items that could be replaced and again our biggest fear is that somebody would have gotten hurt, injured and possibly even died."

Better to call the police and take a chance on being mistaken for a suspect and shot, or killed in the crossfire.

Yeah, he doesn't want the criminals to be killed,
or to have future criminals scared straight.

Without criminals, he is out of a job.

No, one was two guys that tried to run me off the road and then followed me, wanting me to lead them to my home, so I had to confront them on the side of the road where they told me they had a gun...

Another, well several, were people threatening me in my office...

Re: California police frowning on self-defense, want gun owners to simply comply with robbers
If a couple of thugs break into your place of business and point a gun in your face, then you would be perfectly justified in opening fire on them, right? Well, maybe not. San Jose police are giving one gun owner a stern tsk-tsk after she defended her property from a pair of armed thieves.

According to ABC Local 7 News, a pair of thieves wearing masks and hooded sweatshirts burst into a San Jose jewelry store at 10:15 a.m. on Monday. At least one of the would-be thieves was armed.

The thieves probably thought that they were going to make off with a bag full of bling, but instead they nearly caught a bullet. The store owner, who was reportedly a woman, drew a pistol and leveled it at the two would-be thieves. She fired at least one shot but did not strike either of them – it is unclear whether that was a warning shot or if she simply missed.

...

In the meantime, the police are giving gun owners a piece of their mind. Albert Morales, the San Jose Police spokesman, said, "We don't recommend (drawing a gun or firing). We would have preferred that they just go ahead and comply with the request or demands of the robbers.

Maybe the shop owner was insured, maybe not. The thieves might have been stealing her life, all that she had worked for for years. that's worth defending.

That's it. They are saying that things will all go smoothly and "nobody will get hurt" if they complied..but what if that woman didn't have a gun and they decided after they got the jewelry to rape her or worse?! So stupid to assume they wouldn't do anything.

Since no one knows what an armed person breaking into their house wants, i.e. money, sex, to murder someone at random, it is advisable to shoot first and ask them questions later.
