Florida's Task Force concludes ‘stand your ground’ is good law

Task Force concludes ‘stand your ground’ is good law

February 22, 2013 by BizPac Review 4 Comments

For the past 10 months, the 19 members of the Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection have been reviewing Florida Statute 776 which outlines justifiable use of force, also known as the “stand your ground” law. On Friday, the Task Force released their final report concluding that the law is good and should not be overturned.

The Task Force, led by Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll, held public meetings in Tallahassee, Longwood, Arcadia, West Palm Beach, Cutler Bay, Jacksonville, and Pensacola. Thousands of comments were collected from the public and from law enforcement experts. The conclusion was that Floridians have the right to defend themselves, the right to stand their ground when attacked, and to protect themselves and their families from violence.

Page five of the final report of the Task Force’s top recommendations states:

The Task Force concurs with the core belief that all persons, regardless of citizenship status, have a right to feel safe and secure in our state. To that end, all persons who are conducting themselves in a lawful manner have a fundamental right to stand their ground and defend themselves from attack with proportionate force in every place they have a lawful right to be.

​

“I want to commend the 19 members of the Citizen Safety Task Force and Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll for their thorough and thoughtful consideration of Florida Statute 776,” Governor Rick Scott said in a release from his office. “This diverse Task Force listened to the people of Florida and provided a platform for different viewpoints to be shared on the important issue of citizen safety. I met with Trayvon Martin’s parents and our hearts go out to the entire family for their loss, especially as we approach the anniversary of his death. We look forward to reviewing this final report as we approach the beginning of the legislative session.”

The final report was delivered to the Florida Senate President, the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives and the Office of the Governor. The report, video links to all of the task force meetings, correspondence and public input considered is located on the

Task Force website.

I agree with this. My concern about "Stand your Ground" is that it does not apply to the TM case.

Question: Should I Stand my Ground on TNET or notify mods when I get attacked verbally? It does happen pretty frequently...I've been trying to tone down my responses when attacked but these have also been interpreted as "wrong."

Report attacks, just like in a professional
ball game if both players throw punches both can get ejected.

And just as it should be...I'm VERY Pro 2A...the Task Force did a great job!

Seems to me it was another waste of taxpayers dollars to decide that something already in effect....should be in effect?

Dano, the law is already in effect and should be in effect for every state.

I know it's already in effect. Which is why i said "something already in effect"!

I thought it always was in effect in every state. Isn't that why you all have your guns in the first place?

We have them as no 1953 type law passed here.
Not updated on castle type law in denmark but believe you are under no legal obligation to seek retreat when in your own home from true threat to you life. As in cowardly action. You have a right to defence there.
Why do you think castle doctrine is law in all states here?

The law is based on the right to carry a concealed weapon, not every state has a concealed carry law. In every state we have the right to own a weapon, there is a difference. With a concealed carry license I can legally carry my weapon under my clothes when I leave the house.....There are a few restrictions.....


No license issued pursuant to this section shall authorize any person to carry a concealed weapon or firearm into

• any place of nuisance as defined in s. 823.05;
• any police, sheriff, or highway patrol station;
• any detention facility, prison, or jail;
• any courthouse;
• any courtroom, except that nothing in this section would preclude a judge from carrying a concealed weapon or determining who will carry a concealed weapon in his or her courtroom;
• any polling place;
• any meeting of the governing body of a county, public school district, municipality, or special district;
• any meeting of the Legislature or a committee thereof;
• any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms;
• any school administration building;
• any portion of an establishment licensed to dispense alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, which portion of the establishment is primarily devoted to such purpose;
• any elementary or secondary school facility;
• any career center;
• any college or university facility unless the licensee is a registered student, employee, or faculty member of such college or university and the weapon is a stun gun or nonlethal electric weapon or device designed solely for defensive purposes and the weapon does not fire a dart or projectile;
• inside the passenger terminal and sterile area of any airport, provided that no person shall be prohibited from carrying any legal firearm into the terminal, which firearm is encased for shipment for purposes of checking such firearm as baggage to be lawfully transported on any aircraft;
• or any place where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by federal law.

It sure beats the law Massachusetts use to have where if somebody broke into your house you had to flee your own house.
