If you don't want a target on your back, don't become an intruder. How hard is that?
Here's a URL to the latest version of this Bill. In the Florida Senate it is Senate Bill 436, supposedly the House Bill is identical.

Hm. Why would the target be on the intruder's back? The target should be on the front, because that's the most likely place they're going to get shot, unless they've turned to run. Anyway, aim for center mass, and shoot to stop 'em.
Most nights there is only two adults in my home. If I can reach over a foot and touch the other one, all other persons are in a very percarious position that could result in their immediate death without any inquries from me as to who they are.
My kids and my relatives know the procedure for coming into my home after all the lights are out. So far, thankfully, they have followed the procedure to the letter.

DON'T MESS WITH GRANDMA
This is a true story.
An elderly Florida lady did her shopping and,
upon returning to her car, found four males
in the act of leaving with her vehicle.
She dropped her shopping bags and drew her
handgun, proceeding to scream at the top of her
voice, "I have a gun, and I know how to use it!
Get out of the car!"
The four men didn't wait for a second invitation.
They got out and ran like mad. The lady, somewhat
shaken, then proceeded to load her shopping bags
into the back of the car and got into driver's
seat. She was so shaken that she could not get
her key into the ignition. She tried and tried,
And then it dawned on her why.
A few minutes later, she found her own car
parked four or five spaces farther down. She
loaded her bags into the car and drove to the
police station. The sergeant to whom she told
the story couldn't stop laughing.
He pointed to the other end of the counter, where
four pale men were reporting a car jacking by a
mad, elderly woman described as white, less than
five feet tall, glasses, curly white hair, and
carrying a large handgun. No charges were filed.
If you're going to have a Senior Moment, make it
a memorable one!
"I'd rather it said "Bill would paint target on chests of intruders"
Good catch. Went right by me.
