Sad.
Sadder since no one could defend themselves as CA is not a shall issue state and very few people can have a conceal carry license that could have stopped this.

That is NOT an all together true statement! In 36 of CA’s 58 counties, you can get a CCW for the asking, although there are some really bad counties where the Sheriff won’t issue them. By State Law, it’s up to the county LEO’s. Ventura County (where today’s shooting occurred) is a county that routinely issues CCWs to citizens. See graphic in this article:
