To go back to what Analog said, this case doesn't appear to have relevance to the new law, as the 'duty to retreat' did not factor in the judgement.

If you're talking about the case I posted, see the yellow highlight. Because it was the manager's place of business, he was within his rights to move anywhere within that property, and use force to counter the threat of force.
The relevance to the new law, is that principle now expands to apply everywhere, not just within one's home or place of business.
So what the manager did (assuming that he did so because he reasonably thought his assailant was going for a gun) presumably can now be done legally by anybody anywhere in Florida.
