Being a responsible gun owner actually starts with a pen rather than a firearm in your hands. That’s part of the message taught at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office Concealed Weapons Permit Class that took place Saturday. Sgt. Joe Hersey leads the class in hearing what is and what isn’t allowed by law, how to carry a gun, gun safety, gun holsters, safety tactics, how to handle law enforcement in a traffic stop, where guns are allowed and where they are not, in addition to how to shop for, care and clean a gun. |

"[T]he “Stand Your Ground” law does permit shooting someone as they are walking away or fleeing a situation."
That's either a misprint or a dangerous way to read the law. In a prosecutor's view, the evaluation will be if a jury can be convinced that said 'someone' ceased to be a threat and the Castle Doctrine is thereby mitigated.
'Just sayin'. It depends on the politics of the prosecutor in your jurisdiction. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
