So if I start a fight with you..and you wind up beating me up..it's all good to shoot you?
In Florida, 'No' and 'Yes'
If you confront me and threaten me, I have the right to stand my ground. I have no duty to retreat -- In Florida. I might go into that later on, but.....
If you continue to come at me and I fear for my safety, or the safety of one who is with me... I'm gonna shoot your sorry ass. Dead. No warning. No retreating. No brandishing the weapon -- You're a dead mofo. Period.
Now, if we do get into a fight, let's say it's a mutually agreed to fight (forgot the legal term) and you lose (doubtful in my present state of conditioning) and you turn around and shoot me?
You're going to prison for a LONG, long time. A really long time.
Florida's SYG, self-defense and property defense laws are quite unique. They seriously favor the law-abiding citizen.
Which is better than most places, where criminals have more rights than victims.
