It's more of California as a whole - the law makers and majority of the population are extremely liberal and anti-gun, or basically anti-anything that can be considered a weapon. Try to outlaw those things as much as possible which is why their gun laws are the strictest in the country. So because of this, when someone uses a weapon, even if it's for self defense, you're pretty much screwed.

Compare it to Florida where after someone broke into our house I asked the cop "so if I had a gun and this happened again and I caught him still in our house..." the cop replied "We'll write the paperwork".

Can you explain what is meant by "vouchers" and how that works?

Also, I work as a contractor at Johnson Space Center and if (a) you ever need support I will gladly volunteer and help out with anything in the Houston area, and (b) you ever want a private tour of JSC I can try and arrange something.

Keep fighting the good fight, my friend. We're all behind you.
