Please provide a link to the gun laws specifically anything "stand your ground" from the third world country you have lived in. Without doing the research, I don't believe they exist.

It's not a false red herring because despite being able to "stand your ground", you still have unbelievably high crime rates. At very least, it's simply not working.
Twice in the past few years in Florida? Really? With all due respect, I think you should start with research right at home in Florida.

Reports of justifiable homicides tripled after the law went into effect, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Last year, twice a week, on average, someone's killing was considered warranted.
The self-defense law ? known as "stand your ground" ? has been invoked in at least 93 cases with 65 deaths, a St. Petersburg Times review found.

I honestly think it's kind of sad that you feel the best way to deal with a bad situation is to go out in to a parking lot and pull a gun on somebody at some point during a night of drinking. No gun was required. Declining to go outside, or if need be calling the police would have ended the situation. That you can't see this is amazing to me.
