FLORIDA HOUSE ADDS WARNING SHOT ALLOWANCE TO 'STAND YOUR GROUND'

On March 20th the Florida House passed warning shot legislation 93-24.

This would allow citizens under attack to fire a warning shot instead of retreating and instead of shooting the attacker immediately.

According to Bradenton.com, bill sponsor Neil Combee (R-Auburndale) said he pushed this bill for the sake of Marissa Alexander.

According to US News & World Report, Alexander was arrested in August 2010 after firing a warning shot while being attacked by her estranged husband. She was tried and convicted, served 21 months of a 20-year sentence, was freed, and will face retrial on July 28th.

    Maybe the POLICE should have the same law.

    Due to the increased price of ammunition, there will be no warning shots fired. Your first response will be the normal 2+1 operative.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    My warning shot will use the same process I was taught by my marksmanship instructor....don't clear leather unless you plan to fire, don't fire without aiming, aim for center mass, sight alignment, sight picture, squeeze, surprise!
