Down here we have a crazy thing going on with people dressing up like clowns and scaring people by going into their yards and actually peeking through windows, etc.
This morning, as I listened to a local news station our sheriff came on with a warning and reminder. As he spoke the radio host said something like this.
To paraphrase his words: "Folks and clowns listen up. Remember Florida is a carry state and it is a stand your ground state. This means people may be armed and ready to protect their property. So if you want to be a clown and go onto people's property acting like a threat, chances are you are going to run into a person who will put a bullet in your ass. Or maybe put the bullet somewhere else. So you take your life into your own hand and when they dial 911 they may be asking for a body bag. Quit acting like a clown."
I would stay home this year at Halloween if I planned on dressing up like a clown.
