The new law permits individuals to use lethal force against bears if they believe there is an "imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury."

    It’s a Good Thing Republicans don’t pass laws that allow you to do the SAME THING to a Human!

      Do you think a person shouldn’t be allowed to defend themselves when their life is in imminent danger?

        Sure. Just make sure you figure out some sort of way to either guard against or punish

        “oh noes, I feel threatened.” bang

        Because only a fool would think that won’t be taken advantage of.

          I can’t tell if you’re aware or not but that is how the law works in Florida

          edit: to be clear, I’m saying it’s messed up and abused in that way already

            It might be how it’s written, but the way it works is people get shot for a bag of skittles.

                Don’t take it personally. The world is crazy right now and people (including me) get a little… defensive… from having to have more “I can’t believe this is something I need to talk about” conversations than I think any of us ever anticipated. Looking at it again your word choice wasn’t even off. Hope you’re having a good day.

          I was referring to their comment pointed at self defense against humans, not bears
