FL S1846

Repeals Florida's "Stand Your Ground" law (Section 776.013), which currently provides a presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm and eliminates the duty to retreat in certain circumstances

Removes language stating that a person using non-deadly force in self-defense has no duty to retreat before using such force

Removes language stating that a person using deadly force in self-defense has no duty to retreat and may "stand their ground" if not engaged in criminal activity and in a place they have a right to be

Maintains the legal justification for using force or deadly force in self-defense when reasonably necessary to prevent imminent harm or forcible felonies, but eliminates the explicit "no duty to retreat" provisions

Retains the definition of "dwelling" for purposes of the firearm discharge statute, moving it from the repealed section to Section 790.15
