the G-man said:
As far as the Florida "self defense" law, based on the article it appears that the state simply codified into statute the existing, and long standing, rule of self-defense, to wit, that a person who has a reasonable fear of imminent death or serious physical injury has a right to use deadly force in self defense. That's nothing new.
What the law actually permits and what people think the law permits are often two different things. We've seen that demonstrated around here plenty of times.
(And yes, this applies to my opinion of the Florida law)
