I remember when this law was passed and made the news. My father, who knows I am a gun nut, calls me and say "Did you hear how Florida is going to become the Wild West?" I told him that was not the case and that you still had the meet the same legal standards for using a gun, grave bodily harm or death, but now you just do not have to retreat or run away first. He did not beleive me because the news showed old western film footage and completely lied about the law, and how could I be right and the news wrong. I told him I would prove it to him.
The next day I pulled up the Florida legislatures web site and sent him the text of the new law and the standards. He was flabbergasted that the news had totally been wrong about the law and that they seemed to use deception. He is now a supporter of the law and when my wife and I go to visit my folks in July I am bringing all my handguns with me so he can shoot with us. I may change him yet on the issue of guns. :)
