Florida warning shot bill

Are you saying she had a chance to remove herself from the situation, didn't and shots were fired? Sounds like another Florida case, rhymes with Gunn.

Post above...she re entered a situation and fired shots. And got locked up after that for another CDV. Sounds like she shouldn't be mentioned along with the law.

And Dunn's going to jail too.

Point your gun is brandishing. I saw nothing in there that reclassified the discharge of a firearm. Could you please tell me what line its on and I'll read it again.

JSYK there are about half a dozen laws that you can be guilty of when you fire a gun in the city limits. Florida self defense law preempts those but requires a certain set of circumstances that are not generally compatible with having the presence of mind to fire a warning shot safely.

Firing a warning shot is considered aggravated assault IIRC. So, unless doing so endangers a child or something, this law excludes you from prosecution for such.

It can be many things. Discharging a firearm inside the city limits. Attempted murder. Negligent homicide. Child endangerment. Disregard for public safety.

You are incorrect. I read all 26 pages. The intent is clearly to legalize brandishing in self-defense situations and create a legal process to expunge the records of people who exercise their self defense rights legitimately.

She attempted to exit the house through the garage but for some reason could not (broken or something). And she returned back through the house to leave through the front door.

yes this is what I remember from news reports and she felt trapped...
