Ahh yes, the Florida Castle Doctrine, probably the single dumbest piece of legislation ever to pass in that state- no wait, Florida lawmakers are the same geniuses who passed "Terri's law" perhaps the only law ever written to effect only one person! Anyway, they really hit a home run of stupidity with the self defense law, which allows use of deadly force, without requirement for attempted retreat (and therefore not requiring needless bloodshed) based upon perceived threat of severe bodily harm. I suppose that means that if I am walking down the street and somebody appears to be preparing to punch me in the face, if I'm in Florida, I can blow him away with my firearm of choice. It makes me proud to be a citizen of the Great State of Illinois, where it illegal to carry concealed weapons, and you can only shoot someone if they have entered your dwelling and there is no other choice.
