If you've ever spent some considerable time in Fla and have mingled with the locals, you know how dangerous this new law might sound at first, but on the other hand, if you've witnessed the police force over there first hand (or in any other state for that matter), I suppose you can justify it in your head that this might not be such a scandalous mandate after all.
I'm really ambivalent when it comes to the gun debate in America, you know? Having people in my immediate family being faced with having their personal property robbed of them with deadly force, there's a side of me that believes that Law Enforcement can't protect you from the ill will of others. They can some times intervene while the act of crime is going on, but mostly they're (not saying it's always their fault) only present in the aftermath. But on the other hand, I've come into contact and confronted (some of the times due to me being inconsiderate and downright rude) a lot of irascible, potential trigger happy mother****ers who probably could've generated sound reasons in their minds for blowing my head right off my ******* shoulders, man. And that's what gives me a bit of a scare, you know? I don't know, man. It's probably the irrational and fearful side of me that's painting pictures of rather innocuous situations leading to the use of arbitrary deadly force by locals.
No one really knows what the outcome of this new law will be, but I don't know if this NRA stronghold (Fla) is a sensible place to trial test this out. It's a state with mortifying gun related crimes statistics. Some 30, 000 incidents involving guns, 2, 000 leading to deaths yearly and don't forget the terrible history of child on child gun occurrences.
We'll see.
