I agree and I apologise if I was a bit defensive (pardon the pun- I got that dumb cold that's going around and I'm kinda cranky ) You're right-it's a very irresponsible portrayal of the law and I really believe that FL. needs to really tighten its law about the firearm's training requirement, anyway... I believe that the law states now that we don't have to retreat before shooting (or shpritizing someone with pepper spray) My DH still will teach people to retreat, before shooting, as it's simply more responsible (and better for everyone )

But, yeah, you're right. It'll be interesting to see what happens with this one...

And you're right about tourism; with gas prices as they are and the hurricanes, the LAST thing we need right now is a wild west media campaign to frighten tourists away.
