Once again in Florida
So, just when I thought I had the death dealing laws in Florida figured out, Jeb signed a new law designed to confuse people like me. So far.....
1) If you are legally dead and have been for 14+ years you still aren't allowed to die.
2) If your car is legally dead you aren't allowed to kill it.
Now, if you feel threatened and you are armed you may shoot to kill without attempting to run away first.
Most states allow you to defend yourself if you are in fear for your life. The qualifier is that you must attempt to flee first. Only if you can not flee or escape your attacker may you shoot. Makes sense to me. Kinda of short circuits the crazys that want to shoot without checking out exactly what's going on.
The new Florida law says that you may use deadly force to defend yourself if you feel threatened for your life. No qualifiers.
I can think of several bullies in school that would be dead by now. Of course that would violate the zero tolerance law, but I'm not sure if Florida has one.
So if I feel threatened by my 94 LeBarron, can I shoot to kill?
