I will not enter an intersection to turn left unless it is clear.. I was pulled over by a Sheriff here in Florida and told never to block an intersection, to only go out into the intersection if I could make the left turn without stopping..

Here's how the Department of Licensing interprets the law in the Driver Guide : “Drivers must not enter an intersection unless they can get through it without having to stop.” That would seem to mean that even for left turns you shouldn't pull into the intersection and wait for a gap.
