Florida and Virginia laws are not even close to being the same. Look up the "stand your ground" law from Florida. In Virginia... you have to retreat if you have the option.

That was put in to appease the libs. In reality, retreat is seldom a viable option. In my case - due to disability – it is never an option.
Other than that, does Florida have the same limitation on use of deadly force and brandishing?
