I can answer that for you too. I am a 52 year old disabled white male with a CCW. If three guys regardless of color approach me in a parking lot with the intention of stomping my ass, I am in fear for my life. I would immediately pull my weapon and if that didn't stop their forward movement and they continued to approach with violent intentions, I would fire on the closest threat and continue on if the assault continued. There is nothing that says you can't retreat if it provides you cover. The point here is to stop the attack and then move to a safe area and then dial 911. If you have any question regarding your lawful right to defend yourself, when the police arrive on scene, I wouldn't talk to them until you have the opportunity to speak with an attorney. That's your right and they have to honor it. There are alot of criminal attorneys that promote you always stay silent and seek counsel before talking to Police. You can't take back anything you say and you don't want to say the wrong thing because you were confused.
As G4l stated though, and from personal knowledge, the Florida Castle Doctrine is iron clad. Google it, and read it thoroughly. It gives the victim the absolute right to protect themself from attack and no requirement to retreat.
