Florida bill allows meeting of 'force with force'
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) ? With a National Rifle Association lobbyist at his side, Gov. Jeb Bush signed a law Tuesday to make it clear that people have a right to meet "force with force" to defend themselves on the street.
The measure, which passed the Legislature overwhelmingly earlier this year, says that people who are under attack do not have to retreat before responding. They have the right to "meet force with force, including deadly force if they reasonably believe it is necessary to do so."
Florida residents already have that right in their homes. The bill, which takes effect Oct. 1, extends the right to public spaces, such as the street or a place of business.
Supporters said the measure brings Florida in line with a number of other states.
"When you're in a position where you're being threatened ... to have to retreat and put yourself in a very precarious position, you know, it defies common sense," Bush said.
