I'm not 100% sure on Florida but we went over the NC statutes in class and I was shocked to see that you actually cannot confront someone and then proceed to kill them in self defense unless the confrontation was clearly in self defense, such as someone attacking another person or threatening, physically or verbally, to cause harm. In that case, you're not the aggressor even if you take the first "action". Witnesses and other evidence have to back up you were defending and not being the aggressor to make a good self defense case if its murky enough to result in you being charged.
This is why there is insurance for gunowners in the event of a self defense shooting.
