There is concern that a bill moving through the Florida State
Legislature would authorize legally armed residents to fire a warning
shot at a perceived attacker, but as the proposed legislation stands now
that simply isn't the case.

"The way the law works right now is, you're better off, if somebody is
threatening your life or serious bodily injury, you're better off
killing them," Sullivan said. "If you kill them you have Stand Your
Ground, if you fire a warning shot, you don't."

In addition to the Marissa Alexander case, Sullivan identified at least
three other cases in which someone was convicted and sentenced to 20
years for firing a shot they said was meant only to scare a potential
assailant.

this type of law is ONLY needed because of the liberal anti gun prosecutors in this state...who have corrupted the legislators law of using a firearm while committing a crime...10 yr 20 yr..and they use this to jail a mom firing a warning shot to advise her abusive husband away...she got 20 years....justice my ass..hence this new law....imhothey are the problem...you should never fire a warning shot...unless it is on target in the attackers torso
