My understanding of Floridas Castle Doctrine was that it also covered the victim anywhere, and that included outside the home.

You do not have to retreat to protect your life, that of another person or your personal property. So it also pertains to automobiles.

As I remember, the State of Florida took a lot of heat when this law was passed. The Socialists said it made property and such more important than life.

Kinda goes along with the ol' saying, "You don't hang a horsethief 'cause he stole horses, you hang 'im so he don't steal no more". Yes stealing horses had a death penalty in the old days.

I'll look up the Florida Law. Won't be for awhile though. Later this evening.

Best wishes, Bill
