I didn't see what the need for this bill was exactly? The existing statute already gives us (including business owners, managers and employees) the right to defend with deadly force.
[existing statute]
TITLE 21 § 1289.25
D. A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
The newly inserted words words "owner, manager or employee" were already covered by the existing singular word "person". Then, in the section listed above, they didn't even add the words "owner, manager or employee".
Can someone enlighten me?
