Well, we ain't totally out of the woods, just yet.
Bill
SB-1052 is still on the Gov's desk AFAIK. This is the bill that alters Florida Statute 776.013. Supposedly, it corrects a "scrivener error" that, inadvertently requires a person in a dwelling or residence or "occupied vehicle" to be "under attack" before they "do not have a duty to retreat and may stand their ground..." etc. etc. The correction fixes that error by stating that "A person in a dwelling or residence in which the person has a right to be does not have a duty to retreat and may stand their ground..." However, notice that the words "occupied vehicle" have been removed!
The concern is that by doing this, that a "duty to retreat" when in one's occupied vehicle has been restored. Some argue that FS
776.012 (which is still in tact) will protect us in places other than our residence or dwelling.
But let's just say, I don't want to be the test case.
