Yes. Twenty nine of our 50 states (plus DC) have "Stand Your Ground"
laws. These laws say you do not have to retreat before using lethal
force - assuming further that you have the right to use lethal force.
The problem with Fl appears to be that it allows you roam around and
go actively looking for ground to stand on. Be interesting to see if
the DA or AG takes this dude to court to see if you can go looking for
trouble and pull a gun when you feel threatened because you found it
(or it found you.)

You mean like in the movie "Death Wish"?

And isn't that what cops on patrol do?

One day this bold Muscovite shouldered his gun,
And walked down the streets with a sneer,
He was looking for fun,
When he happened to run,
Upon Abdul el-BulBul Amir.

"Young man," said BulBul,
"Is existence so dull,
That you're anxious to finish your career?"
"For infidel know,
You have tread on the toe,
Of Abdul el-BulBul Amir!"

Then a fight broke out. I'll spare you the details since there are (it is
reported) over a thousand stanzas to this epic saga.

And, contrary to your assertion, just walking down the streets with a sneer
is perfectly legal, whether in Florida or Buffalo. We condem those who claim
a rape victim, for instance, "was just asking for it", but there's really
nothing wrong with "just asking for it."

Well, maybe one more...

Then this bold Maraluke
Drew his trusty Seljuk
And shouted "Allah, Akbar! Akbar!
Then with murderous intent,
He most suddenly went,
For Ivan Skavinsky Skivar!
