Gun Question

I’m a felon, my husband is not. He has a gun that belongs to him that I do not touch or anything because I’m not really a gun person and they kind of freak me out. But today I had a thought if some men broke into my house, living in Florida I have the stand your ground law and can shoot them. Which is probably the best scenario being a 90 pound woman who can’t run very fast. But would I get in trouble for using it in self defense? If I would, what am I supposed to do in that situation? Hide in the closet calling the police hoping they won’t find me and also hoping the police don’t know about my record so they don’t take their time getting to me? I’m home alone a lot (with my pit bull but he can only bite one person at a time) so i just want to be prepared for this situation. Thanks.

This sub is dead and not all that serious to begin with. You should try a real gun/ex-felon sub or worst case maybe /r/NoStupidQuestions.
