Florida Task Force on Self-Defense Laws to Meet Tuesday
State's Stand Your Ground law to be examined by task force

By Brian Hamacher | Tuesday, May 1, 2012 | Updated 10:57 AM EDT

The Florida task force formed to examine the state's Stand Your Ground law in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting will be meeting for the first time Tuesday in Tallahassee.

The first meeting of the Task Force on Citizen Safety and Protection, formed by Gov. Rick Scott, is expected to cover housekeeping matters.

Scott said he has no "preconceived notions" on what the task force will recommend but he wants it to look at the Florida law that allows citizens to defend themselves with deadly force.

The 19-member review team will spend the rest of the year investigating self-defense cases.
