The Florida Sheriffs Association announced Friday that it supports the “stand your ground” law, saying it falls in line with the “well-established” right to self-defense.
The state’s sheriffs voted unanimously this week in favor of supporting the law, which has been especially controversial since the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

And then they went out for Starbucks Coffee. Keyword here: unanimously. If you got Broward’s Sheriff to vote along, this is some amazing face slap to Gun Control Cultists.
Wait…you mean Dade, Broward and Palm Beach all backed SYG?
I think I need to lie down for a minute.
There is no Sheriff in Miami Dade and the chief of Police is not elected but selected.
Makes a bit more sense. That means they wouldn’t have a voice in this vote at all, right?
But still, Broward and Palm Beach voted for it, and that’s pretty shocking.
I grew up in Dade, but have lived in all three of those counties. Moved out in ’82. From up here, in a relatively sane county, they look to be among the bluest of the blue.
