Florida's "Stand Your Ground" self-defense law has been associated with a surge in teen deaths by homicide with a firearm, a new study suggests.
The 2005 law, making it legal to respond to a perceived threat with lethal force even when it might be possible to safely flee, has previously been linked to a 32% increase in firearm homicides of adults in Florida, researchers report in Injury Prevention. The current study suggests that gun homicides among adolescents also surged 45% after the law took effect. |

Rule number one for idiots in "Stand your ground" states:
.
Don't behave as if you might be a danger to others, specifically, don't threaten or rob someone, especially with a weapon in hand. It's too bad that the collected information on these incidents didn't include the circumstances, such as criminal activity by the deceased.
.
The author jumps to conclusions because the evidence isn't all there, ignoring the possibility of bad behavior by the youthful "victims". |
