[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2472143, member: 4899"] [B]Florida House Passes Warning Shot Bill [/B] The Florida House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed HB-89, a warning shot bill Thursday, allowing for a person to brandish a firearm or fire a warning shot when feeling threatened. After two days of intense debate, the measure was approved 93-24, while the Senate tentatively approved a similar measure, according to the Bradenton Herald. The bill was introduced by GOP state Rep. Neil Combee, in response to the notorious Marissa Alexander case. She received a 20-year sentence after being caught up in Floridas 10-20-Life statute when she fired a warning shot to ward off her abusive estranged husband. After serving 21 months, an appeals court granted Alexander a new trial. Fort Lauderdale Democrat Rep. Perry Thurston sought unsuccessfully to use the bill as a vehicle to amend Floridas stand your ground law, but the bills sponsor wouldnt have it.
