““.......fire a warning shot”.”

If I recall they just changed the warning shot law in Florida. Although you could defend yourself using the stand your ground law by shooting the perp dead, you could not fire a warning shot. If you did, they could (and frequently did) prosecute you for it. The change clarified this as okay.

Great. So now you can fire a warning shot, the bullet goes half a mile and kills some innocent person.

Correct. Prior the SYG though you had to retreat as far as you possibly could before you could defend yourself. Out the back window of the house, drive to the next county, get on a plane, leave the state. Who decides if you’re in fear for your life? You do. These asshats act like folks WANT to go out and pop some miscreants. I’d be willing to say that for the most part, nobody WANTS to be put in this position if at all possible. Just more lack of understanding of the word ‘responsibility”. Plus I’m sure she’s(tres-gone’s mom) getting a stipend from the MAIGgots or moms lookin’ for a little “action” or some other “gun safety advocate group”(i.e. gun control nazis). Either way it’s a payday for someone who was useless as far as parenting goes.
P.S. Ever see cops fire “warning shots”? Only in the movies because they know that doesn’t work.
