From my reading of the Florida law, it appears that it creates a legal presumption that if someone unlawfully and forcibly enters your home, that is enough to establish a fear of death or serious bodily injury on the part of the homeowner. It doesn't remove that requirement from Florida's self-defense law, it just says that they will assume you had a valid reason to fear death or serious bodily injury if someone breaks in.
