It would be very easy for Florida to make a law similar to that of Oregon, which differentiates between aggressors and non-aggressors and specifically requires aggressors to retreat or withdraw, without success, before escalating the force used.
But the Florida bill does not (as far as I can see). So, again, this legislation theoretically seems to allow any argument to gradually escalate to any degree of force, as the combatants respond to each other, and have no obligation to retreat.
