There is a lot of confusion about the SYG law, so I want to give more info. No, I am not an attorney, just a Floridian who has followed this law closely from its inception to where we are now.

776.041 Use of force by aggressor.--The justification described in the preceding sections of this chapter is not available to a person who:
(1) Is attempting to commit, committing, or escaping after the commission of, a forcible felony; or
(2) Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless:
(a) Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he or she has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant; or
(b) In good faith, the person withdraws from physical contact with the assailant and indicates clearly to the assailant that he or she desires to withdraw and terminate the use of force, but the assailant continues or resumes the use of force.

And, this is part of current statute:
(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be
has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.

So, a law was born that came out of the year of great hurricanes and fear across my state has morphed into allowing men to confront and kill unarmed teens. It makes me sick
