The armed citizen: A continuing series
By 
Florida man stands his ground:
A Dunedin man will not face charges after he fired 30 rounds from his AR-15 rifle at his pool cleaner whom he mistook for an intruder earlier this month, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri announced on Monday. . . .
Bradley Hocevar, 57, yelled at the supposed intruder to go away. Gualtieri said footage from the pool deck shows Polek went to get a flashlight from his truck while Bradley Hocevar yelled, making it likely Polek didn’t hear him.
When Polek returned to the pool deck, he used the flashlight to fill out paperwork, then turned toward the house to place the paperwork by the door. When Bradley Hocevar saw the flashlight moving toward the house, he opened fire.
The audio from the 911 call reveals Bradley Hocevar fired two rounds through the sliding glass door. Polek ran away after the first two rounds, but the Hocevars could not see because the blinds were closed and they were taking cover behind their couch.
Wouldn’t that sliding glass door shatter? My experience with a BB gun in Ann Arbor approximately 52 years ago would say “yes.”
The 911 dispatcher on the phone and Jana Hocevar repeatedly pleaded with Bradley Hocevar to put down the rifle and stop firing. But 47 seconds after the first two rounds, Bradley Hocevar fired a few more rounds. Finally, about 25 seconds later, Bradley Hocevar unloaded his AR-15′s magazine — meaning he fired 30 rounds in about 90 seconds, Gualtieri said.
Polek sustained minor injuries from shrapnel and flying glass, but was not hit directly by the bullets.
Gualtieri said Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law protects Bradley Hocevar’s right to fire on someone he believed posed a threat to him and his wife.
I just don’t have the energy to look up whether Florida’s Randomly Discharge Your Automatic Weapon if You Feel Frightened law includes some sort of reasonableness requirement.
