It has now been a little over nine months since Florida's "deadly force" law went into effect with Governor Jeb Bush's signature - October 1, 2005 to be exact. And just what has been the result? Increased road rage? Disputes between neighbors erupting into gunplay? Tourists shot dead for looking at someone the wrong way? After all, these were among the dire predictions of the Brady Campaign and, in fact, they still sponsor the few lonely billboards warning tourists to exercise extra caution in "The Gunshine State." Alas, the reality has been much more mundane. The sun still shines, the grass is still green, and the birds still chirp merrily away. There have been at most a couple handful of cases that might be considered to fall under the new law. One, a "car repo" company owner defending himself from an aggravated "customer" who managed to jump in his car and try to run him down, and an electronics repair store owner who felt he and his family were threatened by a six-time convicted felon.
