There is another bill that is being enacted into the legislature called the ?stand your ground? bill. This was brought into Florida in 2005 and is also being considered by 21 other states also. This allows people who are at home or in public to meet force with force in order to defend themselves. This conduct will protect victims against prosecution. As long as the person is defending themselves, they will not go to jail.
It is said that states and legislatures are now recognizing that criminals will slow down on their crimes when they are faced with being shot and killed. When criminals know they are protected by laws that won’t let people kill them they will continue to commit robberies, rapes, and other heinous crimes.
Before taking any self defense actions make sure you what the laws are in your local state.
