An Important Warning for Florida Visitors

"Do not argue unnecessarily with local people. If someone appears to be angry with you, maintain to the best of your ability a positive attitude, and do not shout or make threatening gestures." - Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence

Florida's new "stand your ground" law, in effect as of Saturday, October 1, 2005, means people are no longer required to retreat or defuse a threatening situation before using violence in order to later claim they were acting in self-defense. People already had that right in their homes; but, the new law allows individuals to meet "force with force" in whatever place they have a legal right to be. - Based on an Associated Press article.
