        @FeministaJones People should not carry guns unless they are in a war zone. You end up looking for situations to use it.

        It's not homicide if you are defending yourself.

        Florida's justifiable homicide rate increased. So what? Some people just need killing.

        Looks like a bogus study. Who is in favor of letting a bad guy rob or kill you? Being able to defend life and property is a must.

        Of course homicides increased, that's the point. Crime rate has plummeted because criminals now die instead of raping and pillaging.

        wasn't that the point of the law? If someone's robbing you, you can now shoot them... seems like justifiable homicides would be up.

        How many of these cases did the shooter have a legal gun? That would be two different circumstances

        Homicide and murderer are not the same. Citizens should have the power to protect themselves and family against criminals. Good for FL.
