I guess we'll have to await the courts and see what happens, just as we'll have to wait in re: SB-1052, which Gov. S cott also signed. I hope we don't have to start retreating in our vehicles!!!

We'll have to see what happens. But I hate to have to wait for test cases for the law to have some clarity. It should be clear from the moment the statute gets enacted as law.

About having to retreat in one's vehicle, hell no I'm willing to be the test case. If someone is willing to break my window then I'll assume they have all the intention of harming me and my loved ones. I'll use all the necessary force, up to deadly force to protect myself and my family.

Agreed. And I surely wouldn't want to be one of those test cases, either!

I think they want you to try and flee the scene in your vehicle before you have to use force/deadly force. That's a bit risky, especially if the BG is shooting at you or shooting the tires out to disable the vehicle.

I think this whole "duty to retreat" in a vehicle thing is about the Michael Dunn case.
