Well, our Florida legislature has seen to it that I cannot go out there and blast that bunch anyway. Can't protect property with lethal. I guess they are protecting me from my instincts (gee, thanks, big brother -- bastards), but I wouldn't go out there anyway. Of course I'd call 911 so they could come out for lunch to take a report.

It could be argued, that because he is holding the gun in a manner to engage anyone who happens by, that he is a real and present danger to the public at large and can be engaged with deadly force.

"I heard a sound and thought my neighbor had come out. Fearing for his life, I engaged the armed subject, to stop the threat."

It's up to the prosecutor to prove different.

If you live without close neighbors, you may have to get more creative. "He aimed the gun at me and I responded to stop the threat."

Make sure the cameras agree with you, or are strangely blank for that time period.
