Florida's new law reads in part: 

However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force
and does not have a duty
to retreat if:
(a) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary
to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to
himself or herself or another or to prevent the
imminent commission of a forcible felony;


how this all works will be very interesting...
you get to kill someone who you "reasonably believe" is
intending to cause you great harm, an imminent threat.
Yep that makes sense. Now just suppose
that the teaching of evolution become illegal, as it will in Kansas.
Then if i was a deeply passionate
fascio-christo who felt that my children were in grave
and imminent danger of going to hell if they
heard the very words spoken by someone suggesting
that evolution might be the most accurate way
to describe biological processes in reality,
i would have to kill that person. I would get away with it too
because i was reasonable in my belief, based on
my fundamentalist evangelical religion that the danger
of going to hell far outweighed any concerns
i might have had about public safety.
