You are within your rights to protect yourself with force, if you are truly in harms way. The difference between Canada and various US States is how you define the perception of harms way.
You are more likely to F you and your family up, with the Florida model, than the Canadian model.
Let them do their thing and get away. The risk of the other option is not worth it.

You are within your rights to protect yourself with "reasonable force" which is not defined and needs to be determined in the heat of the moment. The requirement for reasonable force is hilariously an unreasonable expectation. How do I know what this person will do? Why is it on the victim to make that instantaneous distinction?
