Boycott the State of Florida & All States with the Stand-Your-Ground Law Tourism until Stand Your Ground Laws are Repealed
Final supporters
Under these legal concepts, a person is justified in using deadly force in certain situations and the "stand your ground" law would be a defense or immunity to criminal charges and civil suit. The difference between immunity and a defense is that an immunity bars suit, charges, detention and arrest. A defense, such as an affirmative defense, permits a plaintiff or the state to seek civil damages or a criminal conviction but may offer mitigating circumstances that justify the accused's conduct.

I honestly did not think this would gain any traction when I first hit publish because people usually just scroll past these things. Seeing the momentum shift and knowing so many others are just as frustrated by these dangerous laws is wild, and it actually gives me some hope that maybe we can actually force a real conversation about safety for once.

Disgusting law. wont ever go back to florida until they scrap it.
