It’s the same in Texas. Florida is overrun with NY/NJ types and the States’ laws reflect it.

In Florida you can shoot to prevent rape robbery and kidnapping.

Property crimes are a gray issue.

Florida seems rather unreasonable.

Different states have different laws.

It's a litte broader than that:

"you may stand your ground and meet force with force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to yourself or others." (this is a paraphrase)

Which is patently false. The Florida Castle Law allows you to defend yourself with a firearm if someone intends you harm and you are not required to run away.
