IMO way I read Florida law does not give you right to just shoot someone, there has to be deadly threat. IMO threading to shoot someone knocking on front door threat. Recent case in Ocala good example.

Stand-your-ground laws
Also known as "line in the sand" or "no duty to retreat" laws, these laws allow people to use deadly force in some cases of self-defense outside the home. The force must be proportional to the threat of death and the person must have a legal right to be at the location. As of January 1, 2024, 35 states had stand-your-ground laws.
Castle doctrine
This common law principle removes the duty to retreat when someone is in their home, and sometimes in their workplace, vehicle, or yard. The castle doctrine presumes an imminent threat of death or harm, and allows the use of lethal force against an intruder.
