Re: Good, common sense, anti-crime issue!
Media hype aside, what the law really says is that you get to use deadly force if you are threatened with deadly force. If someone pulls a gun on you you can shoot them without trying to run away first. Makes perfect sense to me. I'm not a fan or member of the NRA and I loathe Jeb Bush with every fiber of my being, but I would support this law if I lived in Florida.
I'm not sure if my state has similar legislation, but in practice prosecutors don't bring charges against someone who shoots in self defense.
