Fla. Task Force Says No Major Changes Needed to Stand Your Ground Law

Though some tweaks are recommended

A 19-member task force commissioned by Gov. Rick Scott to review Florida's Stand Your Ground law has put out its final report, largely voicing its support for the law.

The task force made a handful of recommendations for the Legislature, but began the report by stating that, at its core, the self-defense law is fine as it is.

"All persons who are conducting themselves in a lawful manner have a fundamental right to stand their ground and defend themselves from attack with proportionate force in every place they have a lawful right to be," the report reads.
