History

Historical Context

In March 2005 Governor Jeb Bush signed Florida’s stand-your-ground law, expanding the castle doctrine to any place a person has a legal right to be; the measure passed 71-28 and took effect Oct. 1, 2005. Studies found self-defense homicide filings rose 30 % by 2010 and murders increased about 24 % through 2014, trends echoed in the 2024 North Lauderdale Walmart shooting where the suspect claims self-defense.
