PA: Gun Beats Knife in Philadelphia (CCW)

Police said the two men, ages 37 and 38, were in the parking lot outside the Pathmark store on Frankford Avenue near Pennypack Street, in Pennypack Woods, just after 5:30 p.m. when the younger man confronted the older man for "looking at [him] for no reason." The men argued, and the younger man pulled a 13-inch serrated hunting knife and tried to attack the older man with it, threatening to "cut" him, according to police.

The older man asked the aggressor several times to drop the knife but he refused, according to police, and instead charged at him with the weapon. The older man then pulled out his 9mm Glock and shot the knife-wielder in the groin, police said.

California firearms laws are among the most complex in the nation.

Here is a book on the subject:

I also recommend this site for a california gun law discussion group on the net.
