It's really come down to protecting yourself and your own. But sure as the sun shines, you shoot, or even physically restrain one of these perps inside your own house or out in the back yard, and you might get arrested, but you most certainly will be sued by the perp or the perp's family.

I doubt California will pass the Castle laws. If you are no billed (not prosecuted) for a proper shooting, the perp and the family cannot sue in civil court.
