Barry Carraway Maybe I did not make myself clear; I do not want to shoot anyone. My thoughts are to let them know I have a weapon and to leave me alone. In FL stand your grond absoultely does give you the right to defend yourself if you life is threatened or great bodily harm. In fact warning shots are now allowd and it was extended to cover anywhere you are leagally allowed to be not just your home.
Here you go:
This law, as outlined in Sections 776.012, and 776.013, Florida Statutes, expands the scope of a self-defense claim traditionally available in a criminal case by:
Eliminating the general of “duty of retreat” imposed at common law;
Presuming legal justification for the use of force in a person’s dwelling, residence, or vehicle; and
Offering immunity from prosecution for individuals who resort to force within the parameters of the statute.
In its simplest form, the statute provides that a person is justified in the use of deadly force and has no duty to retreat if either:


the person reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself, or another, or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or
the person acts under and according to the circumstances set forth in Section 776.013 (presuming a reasonable belief as to the necessity of force in the context of ‘dwellings,’ residences, or vehicles).
