1. To defend yourself means when you’re not moving or
going
anywhere and someone is coming after you, your loved one
or your
property. 2. Unless you’re a member of SWAT and on duty,
a gun can
only be used as a defense.
3. When you go AFTER someone ( read # 1 above) then you
are no
longer considered to be defending yourself.
Florida has a marvelous law of “stand your ground” that
is
extremely useful. If people like you don’t stop trying
to subvert
it, we’re all going to lose.


Who are you saying here is the defender?

Subverting ? Are you saying we were a lost bunch from the
beginning of the country up to the time this law was
passed?

Marvelous law ? I'm an NRA member, but I have to say that
there was
NO reason to have a law like this enacted. (It was
bankrolled by my
NRA, and for the life of me, cannot find out for what
purpose they
push such legislation). It is plain and simple nuts. Just
about as
bad as Ohio's law permitting concealed carry in bars.
What? Don't the lawmakers know how easy a fight breaks
out in a bar and someone
gets hit with a pool queue stick ora bottle? What's going
to happen
now with concealed guns? People will be carted out in body
bags rather than on ambulance gurneys.

If someone was packing, out and about the
town runing erands and whatnot, and someone
looks at them funny, and they think they are
threatened, they have the right under this law
to defend themselves from this looker, even to
the death. Now you think this is a stretch, but
this is real life and anything can and does happen.
