   From this article I learn that:

    Florida's "stand your ground" laws need to be written more specifically, more simply and more strongly.

   Firing a warning shot might not be a good idea.

    Plea deals work better when the accused is not guilty of much.

My question is why is it better to shoot instead of running away if you have the chance?

One must read the situation as one finds it.

Do you think this particular guy will allow you to leave unhurt, then you have that as a choice.

Can a legislator passing a law some months before help you make this call?
