SB (i.e. Senate Bill) 378 was actually the 2007 senate bill, sometimes called the "Castle Doctrine" that removed a duty to retreat from the justifications required for use of deadly force. It's now codified in PC 9.01 and Civil Code 83.001,002.atxtj wrote:Thanks, that's exactly what I was needing. I needed it to prove to a non chl that it is truly legal to carry in your car.
