Since this topic crops up from time to time on these boards, most recently in "Extortions and H4H" thread, I thought I'd make a new post instead of derailing an existing thread.

Very interesting. So before this bill in public you had to be retreating in order to defend yourself?

In Florida you had to make every effort to avoid the situation, including fleeing before you were allowed to use lethal force.

As I read the story, anyway.

Self defense or not?

Attempted mugging goes badly.
