44 is pretty close...
What has changed is that in the past, if a person uses a toy gun in the commission of a crime he faced the possibility of "Armed Robbery" (as I feel it should be)... Now the the charge of "armed robbery" is off the table. So what will the charge be? Not "strong arm robbery" if he doesn't physically handle you? And can the wounded BG or family of dead BG now sue in civil court that "According to the law, my precious innocent angelic street thug OG wasn't even armed..."
Now I have a decent grasp of the sd laws of Fla... But long before the "castle doctrine" florida shop keeps have put plumbum inside robbers' torsos. But one protection he had was the presence of a toy gun was interrupted exactly the same as if it were a real firearm...
