Can common sense and fact prevail over emotion and opinion in Florida? It sounds like it.Florida voters — especially men and Republicans — support the state's Stand Your Ground law, an opinion poll has found.
A Suffolk University/WSVN-Ch. 7 poll released Thursday shows 50 percent of Florida voters support the law that allows people who feel threatened in the street or most other public places to use deadly force to defend themselves. Just 32 percent oppose the law and 18 percent are undecided.
Stand Your Ground has received intense scrutiny since the February shooting death of Trayvon Martin, a Miami Gardens 17 year old, in the central Florida city of Sanford.
