Assembly Bill 1333 was introduced a few weeks ago as legislation that would change self-defense protections across California. But it has quickly garnered severe backlash over concerns like rising crime and physical safety. What would this bill do if passed, how would it change existing law, and should we support or oppose it? I’m your host Tess Abraham, and we will be covering current self-defense laws, constitutional protections, and what you can do about all of it on this week’s episode of The California Conversation!
