I also was in San Diego a few times, but like the rest of Cali you can't even carry a knife for self-defense. I'm in great shape for my age but I know I won't stand a chance against 2 youths. You can't get a carry permit there or in San Fran, and a contact stun gun won't cut it. Many of the people leaving are retired and can't afford to live there any more. While I can afford to live there, why should I give a big chunk of my income for taxes to a state where I need to pay for their mismanagement and high number of people on welfare? The crime alone in those cities should make you shudder as much as the cost for homes.

Its legal to carry a knife in California as long as it's not a switchblade or over four inches long. I carry a folding knife with me wherever I go. Its clipped in my pocket. It's got a three inch blade. My house is paid off. My finances are good...so no need to worry about that. |

Sure, but you'll find more of them in CA https://www.usich.gov/tools-for-action/map/#fn[]=1500&fn[]=2900&fn[]=6100&fn[]=10100&fn[]=14100 |

I'm Northern Cali Born and Raised. The homeless problem in the city (SF) is crazy and is spreading to the suburban east bay area. We have a feces and needle problem in San Francisco and BART (Our subway). It is absolutely atrocious.
We have our problems, but I love living here and would like to spend the rest of my days here. I'm glad I can afford to live here very comfortably, as I'm the first to say the cost of living is in another dimension. My short stint in Phoenix showed how far a dollar can go. It was amazing. But home is home. |

It's only a matter of time before California bans knives, just like London did. Honestly I'd rather fist fight someone as long as they're not way bigger than me. Otherwise I'd be too concerned about dropping the knife and them getting it, especially if there's more than one of them.
A guy, apparently having the worse day of his life, started road raging at me a few weeks ago over nothing, got out of his car, and began hitting me through my window. I had to jump out and fix him up real quick.. could've grabbed my knife but 1- I didn't feel threatened enough to use it and 2- I'm not trying to deal with the cops over stabbing some random f*cking idiot |

There's no "Stand your ground" law here in California. I'd be hesitant to shoot a home invader in the back, because it could be ruled as unjustified if he was trying to flee after seeing the gun
