I didn't know...

...they had "Stand Your Ground" laws in Norway. According to "Norwegian Man Claims Self-Defense in Killings" in the Times (my emphasis): 

By turns defiant, impassive and, just once, tearful, the self-described anti-Islamic militant who admitted killing 77 people last year, including scores of young people at a summer camp on a tranquil wooded island, went on trial here on Monday. 

In the courtroom, the defendant — Anders Behring Breivik, 33 — proclaimed that he had acted in self-defense, bore no criminal guilt and rejected the authority of the court. 

He should ask for a trial in Florida.
