A father of two on his way to get some ice cream for his children Tuesday night was beaten into a coma in an alley near his home. Authorities have no motive for the brutal attack.
The father had just a few dollars in his pocket when he left his 4-year-old and 8-year-old with his wife around 6:40 p.m. to buy some ice cream around the corner from their home, said Orange County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Jim Amormino. Minutes later, the man’s wife heard sirens.
She came out to find her husband severely beaten and lying in a pool of blood in an alley behind the 26500 block of Calle Santa Barbara. Paramedics took the man to Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, where he remains in extremely critical condition, Amormino said.
It was still light out when the beating happened, and authorities believe someone may have heard or seen something. The man is a “family man,” Amormino said, with no criminal history.

California: SAF, Calguns Challenge Arbitrary Denial of Right to Bear Arms In California
May 5, 2009 by Crassroots · Leave a Comment
BELLEVUE, WA and REDWOOD CITY, CA – The Second Amendment Foundation, The Calguns Foundation and three California residents today filed a lawsuit seeking to vindicate the right to bear arms against arbitrary state infringement.
Nearly all states allow qualified law-abiding citizens to carry guns for self-defense, but a few states allow local officials to arbitrarily decide who may exercise this core Second Amendment right. In the action filed today, Plaintiffs challenge the policies of two California Sheriffs, in Sacramento and Yolo counties, who reject the basic human right of self defense by refusing to issue ordinary people gun carry permits. Of course, violent criminals in the impacted counties continue to carry guns without police permission.
