A TASK FORCE ASSEMBLED BY GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT TO EVALUATE THE CONTROVERSIAL "STAND YOUR GROUND LAW" MADE A BOLD STATEMENT TODAY.
THE RECOMMENDATION?
TO KEEP THE LAW UNCHANGED.
NBC 2'S JIM SPEE-WAK IS LIVE IN THE STUDIO WITH WHAT BOTH GUN OWNERS AND NON-GUN OWNERS FEEL ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATION.
JIM --
Return to index of stories...
STANDING YOUR GROUND WHEN YOU FEEL THAT YOUR LIFE IS IN DANGER - IT'S A SIMPLE CONCEPT AT ITS CORE BUT ITS DETAILS ARE INTERTWINED IN A CONVOLUTED LAW. A LAW BROUGHT TO THE NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT AFTER GEORGE ZIMMERMAN SHOT AND KILLED FLORIDA TEEN TRAVON MARTIN JUST ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO.
Return to index of stories...
FLORIDA'S STAND YOUR GROUND LAW IS IN PLACE FOR WHEN LIFE BACKS YOU INTO A "LIFE OR DEATH" DEAD END.
when you are put in fear for your life or for grievance and bodily harm you should have the legal right to defend yourself
FRIDAY'S REDCOMMENDATION BY A TASK FORCE TO KEEP THE STAND YOUR GROUND LAW "STATUS QUO" IS JUST FINE BY 81 YEAR OLD RICHARD SCRANTON, WHO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS LIFE, BOUGHT A GUN THREE WEEKS AGO.
I've never thought about even carrying anything or to protect myself until recently, there's so many things going on and there's shootings almost every day of the week
ACCORDING TO THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURE AND CONSUMER SERVICES, THERE ARE MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION CONCEALED WEAPON PERMIT HOLDERS IN FLORIDA - UP FROM 950,000 AT THE BEGINNING OF 2012.
even thought the stand your ground law doesn't pertain to just the use of firearms, even non gun owners are saying they think the state of the law is just fine
these are just people that can do whatever they want to do and their going to do it, your not going to stop them with a law
HARD PRESSED TO FIND JUST ONE PERSON TO ADMIT THE LAW NEEDS TO BE CHANGED MAY BE INDICATVE OF THE RECENT POPULARITY OF FIREARMS. KALEB LANGDALE DROVE 90 MINUTES FRIDAY TO FT MYERS TO BUY AMMO, ONLY TO FIND OUT, WAS OUT OF STOCK.
it use to be where you could get 1,000 rounds for $40 and now if you find a box its like maybe 10

OF THE 1.2 MILLION PERMITS REFERENCED IN THE REPORT, ALMOST 360,000 OF THOSE RESIDE IN LEE, COLLIER AND CHARLOTTE COUNTIES.

08:13 " We have several friends that are getting furloughed so we're aware of it."
THE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION WOULD BE ALSO BE EFFECTED.
WHICH OFFICIALS SAY COULD MEAN LONGER LINES AT AIRPORT SECURITY CHECKPOINTS.
08:19 "We'll see what happens, if we people allow enough time to travel and allow a little more additional time everything will be fine.
FOOD INSPECTION PLANTS.RUN BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.MAY ALSO BE FORCED TO SHUT DOWN.LIMITING THE FOOD SUPPLY TO THE OPEN MARKET.AND RAISING BEEF AND CHICKEN PRICES AT THE MARKET.
46:24 " I don't understand why it continues to go up when supposedly the economy is supposed to be getting better."
THE GREAT OUTDOORS AREN'T SPARED EITHER.
NATIONAL PARK SERVICES COULD BE CUT AND MORE THAN TWO MILLION FEDERAL EMPLOYEES WOULD FACE UNPAID FURLOUGH DAYS.
09:15 "We're very lucky in this country to have those kinds of parks that are open to everybody and they service everybody and it would be heartbreaking if any of these programs were cut."

TONIGHT, SOME FLORIDA LAWMAKERS WANT COUNTIES TO DECIDE WHETHER TO BOOST CAMPUS SECURITY AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES AT SCHOOLS.
BUT IT COULD COME AT A COST TO TAX PAYERS-- EVEN IF YOU *DON'T HAVE CHILDREN IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
THE LEGISLATION IS CALLED THE SCHOOL SAFETY ACT.
IF APPROVED. IT WOULD ALLOW COUNTIES TO TAX RESIDENTS - ON ASSESSED PROPERTY VALUES.
THAT MONEY WOULD PAY FOR EXTRA SECURITY AT SCHOOLS AND MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS FOR STUDENTS.
THE PUSH COMES MORE THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER 20 FIRST GRADERS AND 6 EDUCATORS WERE SHOT TO DEATH INSIDE A CONNECTICUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
WARM WEEKEND IN STORE
Temperatures have been running several degrees above average, and there is no sign of that stopping over the next four days.
Unlike last weekend, this weekend will be quite warm. Even our morning temperatures will be on the warmer side of average as lows only cool into the mid to upper 60s. Fog will also continue to be an issue during the early morning, and mariners be advised we'll be watching for a good possibility for sea fog, too, as humidity continues to rise over a chilled Gulf of Mexico.
Daytime highs through the weekend should easily warm into the 80s for all areas except the coast, and our sky will be predominantly sunny with only fair-weather clouds developing through the day. Rain prospects will stay pretty low through the weekend, but there will be a slight chance for a few isolated inland showers Sunday afternoon.
A MAJOR change in the weather pattern will be in order by early next week as the next front swings into Southwest Florida, so look for increasing rain chances come Monday night into Tuesday. Some rain and clouds may even linger into Wednesday as the front makes its final push to the south, but we should see clearing skies and cooler weather by Thursday.
I call this a major change because models are hinting that the low pressure that brings us the inclement weather will stay through mid-March. I'm not worried about clouds and rain through the first half of March, but you will feel it when it comes to the temperatures.
So a big cool down looms for Southwest Florida in the near future.
Keep checking back with nbc-2.com for the latest weather updates, and remember you can access the only LIVE radar in Southwest Florida by using our Doppler Zoom tool online. You can also have access to our radar on your mobile device. Just search, "NBC 2 Wx" in the app store!
