Misapplication of SYG?

I simply do not think that the Stand Your Ground law is being applied accurately in this case.

Florida law notes, it seems to me, that the presumptions for self-defense do not apply if:

"The person who uses defensive force is engaged in an unlawful activity or is using the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle to further an unlawful activity".

This is a 17 year-old illegally in possession of a firearm - is that not an unlawful activity?
