You have no more freedom to protect yourself in the south than you do in the rest of the country.
However you are much more likely to be killed by someone in Florida and for him to escape any pounishment just by claiming that he was "standing his ground".

Chicago does not have a "ban on guns" at all. That is just more right-wing propaganda that you accept without question.

Yeah, it was struck down, in 2014. I just thought that I'd pull a 'fred' and slide that one by.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Nope. Wrong again.
Chicago never had a "ban on guns".
There were limits on handgun ownership, but people were still allowed to own guns.

Well, the Supreme Court appears to disagree with you.

Which is interesting since the plaintiff in that case already legally owned firearms in Chicago.

Standing your ground cuts both ways. And since I don't go out looking for trouble I'm ok. I will take the additional protection of having SYG

No they don't. You just need to learn to read.

Rifles and shotguns are guns and they were never banned in Chicago.

So.... This just proves that 22 of my gun buddies and I need riot gear and automatic weapons.
But more seriously, one person in the right place, at the right time could have made a difference.

And yet never has.
Edit: I take that back. I've found a few where they confronted someone. I suppose now we have to debate if they stopped a mass shooting or not now.

No need for me to debate it.
I would not be able to prove anything, even if an opinion were that of law enforcement.
Tbh, I wasn't even insisting that the one person even needed a weapon.
