Florida Sheriffs Association Supports the Stand Your Ground Law
Florida Sherrifs Association ^ | Friday, August 09, 2013

Posted on 08/09/2013 2:28:27 PM PDT by Ray76

For Immediate Release

FSA President, Sheriff Grady Judd, today announced, “The right to self-defense is well-established in law.  The Florida Sheriffs confirmed this position by voting unanimously, at the 2013 Florida Sheriffs Association Summer Conference, to support the Stand Your Ground law as it is currently written.  Our current judicial system is comprised of multiple checks and balances to ensure fair and equitable application of all laws, including Stand Your Ground.” 

Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law
A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity, and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.
F.S. §776.013(3)

I like the law.

In fact, I LOVE the law.

But I don’t need a law to stand my ground. I will never allow a thug to threaten me or my family again.

I think blacks are about 50/50 on SYG. Every other group supports it overwhelmingly, except for the political ruling class.
