Well there's you problem, lol. 
Anybody walks into this house uninvited, they're going to leave in a bag with holes in them. Whether I'm here or not, lol. This is a very unfriendly place for people that are not known or are uninvited. Goes back a long way, we don't take kindly to people that cross that threshold uninvited. LOL. Everyone in this house is trained in every aspect of firearms, they respect them and know how to use them. They are also trained that anyone that forces their way into this house is a target that will be taken out. Either by me, the ol' lady or the boy, we all know where the the weapons are and all know how to use them and when to use them.

It's impossible to get a CCW in my county, at least right now. Gun supporters are working on that though. Still, by CA law, if someone enters your home you have to retreat to the farthest room and wait until the perp is about to cause you bodily harm before you can pump him full of lead. How retarded is that? If I'm sitting on the couch and someone breaks in, by law, we have to run into the back room before we can defend ourselves with a firearm.
Like I said though, I always have at least one weapon of some kind on my person, and things that can be used as such in the car. Doesn't beat having a concealed firearm though...
soon, hopefully.On that note, I just picked up a complete AR upper from AR15depot.com from their Easter sale. Can't wait to finally put my rifle together! Next will be shotgun for "home defense," and I guess I'll have to hide it in the back room lol. Actually, in CA, if you have children in the home, you're not legally allowed to leave weapons loaded either. They need to be unloaded and in a safe, unless you're LE. I hate this state.

Mag doesn't count, but needs to be out of the gun and both locked up. What's the point of having a home defense weapon right? Not legally allowed to use it if they break in, and not legally allowed to have it ready to go.

Just because I don't have a CCW, doesn't mean I don't own or have firearms around

I got curious about this and did some searches and could NOT find any evidence that you have to retreat in Cal. Sources indicated that Cal (like most other states) has a stand-your-ground law which states that you DO NOT have an obligation to retreat before using deadly force.

I must admit I was prepared to believe that The Peoples' Republic of California would have such a law. This morning my wife told be that in Cal one can be fined for taking too long a shower. I pictured a message broadcast to the Moonbeam Youth. Children, when your father starts the shower start your timer. If, 7 1/2 minutes later the shower is still running, call this number.

You don't necessarily have to run but you do need to reasonably be in fear of your life or that of another. The fact that they have forced their way into your home doesn't establish they intend to harm you in Cal. I know, I know...makes no sense to me either!
Actually, in CA, if you have children in the home, you're not legally allowed to leave weapons loaded either. They need to be unloaded and in a safe, unless you're LE. I hate this state.
You can have a loaded firearm in the home with children but...
"You may be guilty of a misdemeanor or a felony if you keep a loaded firearm within any premises that are under your custody or control and a child under 18 years of age obtains and uses it, resulting in injury or death, or carries it to a public place, unless you stored the firearm in a locked container or locked the firearm with a locking device to temporarily keep it from functioning."
