Stand Your Ground It is a highly controversial law that since 2005 has left a string of incidents throughout Florida and the invocation of “stand your ground” as a shield of immunity from prosecution.  There is now a lot of confusion on the part of the public, law enforcement and our judicial system, and the haphazard interpretation and application of the law.  This movement is an attempt to clarify the parameters of the law and set the tone for our civilized society.
