Is anyone else scared by this?

I couldn't find the actual text of the bill other than the quote below,  
but apparently under the previous gun law in order to qualify for self  
defense in an altercation you had to prove you couldn't have just run  
away and avoided killing someone.  Now, all you gotta do is feel  
threatened and you can pull that gun and shoot someone.  Opponents are  
calling it a dueling bill:

Any person "has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force  
with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it  
is necessary to do so..."
