As a long-time and full-time Florida resident, I'm seeing this type of incident more and more. I don't blame our immigration laws for every violent encounter, but it certainly contributes and these types of confrontations continue to increase. Thankfully my wife and I are now empty nesters, so we don't have to worry about children in the house should something go bad. We have a plan in place in case there is a home invasion or break-in, and we have an "Alamo". Although we have a quiet neighborhood and Neighborhood Watch, I worry about the many contractors in and around the house that have a chance to scope out the property. Most of them are hard working and honest people, but there are always bad actors. I'm thankful that we have a very pro-2nd Amendment and pro-Stand Your Ground Sheriff, who constantly tells the residents that they are the first line of defense in these types of situations because it takes time for LEs to respond. Woe be to those that enter my home with bad intentions and uninvited.
