Does this mean that the New York Slimes and Rino Bloomberg will never move to Florida as a result of this law?
I would say that is definitely to the benefit of the Sunshine State.

As a future fireamrm owner, I very nmuch resent this characterization of me as a "trigger happy yahoo". I'm only like that on certain occasions, like around the NYTimes head office. See, that makes me a very responsible gun owner.
Sixty years ago, this POS rag hut would be downsized by the chair.

They're New York liberals - they
know what's best for everyone and anyone who disagrees with them is just stupid or evil.
And they want Hillary for President (shudder)...

great tagline, amazing how far the field has shifted, unfortunately.

when a person simply doesnt want to back away from a confrontation.
The writer's opinion may change (if he lives through it) should he ever find himself in a situation where he cannot just "back away" and is unarmed.

"...neighbor who had knocked on his door in a dispute over the number of garbage bags..."
'scuse me, mind yer own damn business. It's between the too-many-bags-guy and the waste hauler.
Some people think it's their right to stick their nose into everyone else's lives. You shouldn't get shot for it, but why tempt fate?

If ever a law was designed as a
get-out-of-jail-free card for the trigger-happy gun owner, sop to freedom hating nanny statists, it's
one that comes to us via the gun lobby and the State of Florida. every other freakin law on the books!Why is it such a terrible thing when the pro-rights crowd actually wins one?

There are legitimate kill-or-be-killed situations, but those are defensible in court already.Not exactly. In most states, "make my day" laws harmonize burden of proof in self defense cases with all other crimes one might be accused of, on the state, as it should be. When a state makes a special rule to change procedure for a specific crime, it's up to them to justify why it would be different, not up to the people to justify why it should be the same as every other crime.

To defend homes and vehicles, an owner can wield lethal force with a freedom not granted to the police.Well, DUH! We're talking about a homeowner here, why WOULDN'T a member of the public have more latitude than one of their employees?

Floridas law is a sick cousin of the work of the gun lobby on Capitol Hill, where it has successfully protected the interstate traffickers of guns used in crimes.No, what they meant to say was "The New York Times is a sick cousin of the yellow-journalism tabloids that they used to ridicule in journalism school - its main goal is to successfully protect and advance the cause of criminals and traitors"...

The NY TIMES is off its rocker if it really believes what it prints.
allows the extraordinary use of deadly force when a person simply doesnt want to back away from a confrontation.
If you are attacked the NY TIMES believes you should be arrested for fighting back. Sure sounds like it, this ain't the UK!!

They did however miss the little part about how every single fatal defense shooting by an armed citizen defending their property in FL ended in the termination of a career criminal. - every single one.
