Stand your ground

Florida has a new law that gives legal protection to someone who shoots another person as long as the shooter feels threatened or is attacked. This is very good news for all of those who support the second amendment. Florida's "stand your ground "law, which went into affect last month says that citizens are no longer obligated to retreat from an attack if they are somewhere they have a legal right to be such as their home, or a public street.A shooter will also receive immunity from prosecution so long as the person shot is not a police officer, which, I believe is an unfortunate glitch in what otherwise appears to be a people-empowering legal victory.The Brady Campaign to prevent gun violence has responded by warning visitors to "not argue unecessarily with local people or make threatening gestures". Brady spokesman Peter Hamm says that this law "could cause the most aggressive people in society to overreact". It would seem to me that these folks have totally missed the point here and I'm not talking about the gun point either! They have missed the fact that most violent crimes are committed by "aggressive"people and they are usually the ones with the guns! They will now need to think twice before they stick a gun in someone's face because that someone might send them to meet their maker! Now, if the state of Florida can just pass a law requiring every able-bodied,and minded person to carry a gun and use it when needed they just might "take a bite outta crime" in the Sunshine State!
The revolution will not be televised.
