Time for Californians to demand more liberal CCW laws! If CA had CCW laws like Az, VA, TX or FL, crime would drop drastically as it has in other states that passed shall issue CCW laws. Criminals are afraid of armed citizens.

Nice screening process the fire dept. has. There had to be red flags going on with this guy. Well good for the officers that put this asshole's life to an end. Get well soon goes out to the injured officer.

Good job by the apprehending officers. Society has no need to have the likes of Hernandez running around loose or sitting in jail at taxpayers' expense. Before Californians will be able to see positive changes to the restrictive and ridiculous firearms and ammunition laws they must first sweep out the left wing liberals from local, state, and judicial positions then replace them with people that have some common sense and understand that criminals will not obey their laws so law abiding people pay the price.
