Unless it is misrepresented that is not a problem. According to the article above: “The law, which grants legal immunity to people who use deadly force if they reasonably believe their lives are in danger, is one of the targets of a group of protesters,” “reasonably believe” is inherently a reasonable standard. David for reasonable people REGARDING:

For young people, if someone is banging your head on the pavement and you cannot stand up you should be able to shoot them. You can only yell for help so long before you have a concussion or are dead. How long must we submit to those with superior strength? The question should never have to be asked. The law is good! Way to go sheriffs. The law allows older people to whack others with their walking sticks when accosted, it also somewhat levels the fighting field when violence may occurs.

They can just call 911 if they have a problem, just like they would like everyone else to do.

LEO's have to investigate an incident to determine if valid or not. I support SYG, and feel a person should not have to retreat from a threat, but be able to defend his or herself, and their family.

A person still has to prove their life was in danger. @Troubled, Stand your ground is a fine law, being scared is not enough to kill someone under stand your ground, it is simply one of the factors.

It is those who abuse it that give it a bad name. I feel the right to defend your self and family is everyone's right, but to just say I was scared and pull a gun is not right. If someone is breaking in, or endangering you on your property is a reason to call the police then defend. I know there is going to be a lot said on this subject and I hope everyone uses their head.
