A reasonable addition and one I suspect does prevent some of the absurd situations that have been seen under Florida’s SYG law.

Well, it’s good in the sense that he’ll get convicted…maybe…because of that language. Unless he gets the Joe Horn treatment.

However, I dislike the larger trend in which SYG muddies the ground on what’s justifiable homicide. This shooting falls in with a bunch of others in terms of armed individuals “misunderstanding” their right to exercise lethal force. That they sometimes get convicted doesn’t change that there are dead and maimed people. In this case, the dead guy was a middle school teacher whose music was too loud.
