If you lived in Florida, you’d understand that a majority of state residents support SYG. What good does it do in this environment? PLENTY! There have been numerous stories lately with regard to SYG in Florida media. They’re trying to find a strawman but are finding that most defensive uses of firearms in Florida are legitimate and don’t always end in gunfire.

It’s a necessary enumeration to our code, I believe. It’s as important to discuss and for the public to understand as in concealed carry, Castle Doctrine, or even the Second Amendment.

You're still missing the point. I am not saying anything about SYG other than how its effects impact the debate that has been posited that Floridians are A, much better armed than Californians, and B, would react differently than how Angelenos did should riots break out after a Zimmerman acquittal.

I would say that idea A is a misinterpretation of the facts of gun ownership in California. There are plenty of firearms here, I assure you.

Now B is probably also false, since the Korean merchants toting guns on their rooftops as the riots broke out attests that we aren't afraid to use the guns if the need arises.

Now, finally, somebody tell me just exactly how the McDuffie riot in Miami was any different than the Rodney King riot in LA, and just exactly how all these guns in Florida were turned on the rioters back then.
