I have no idea what you are talking about, but more perplexing than that, neither do you.

Ask and it will be given to you....

This woman (I guess) is pretty typical of the mentality you routinely encounter here in Oklahoma. There is about a .001% chance that they will ever need a gun here in the mean streets of Oklahoma but by gawd they'll have one on them just in case.

Yes, that Anthony jury and that Simpson jury sure knew more than us common observers. I think not.

You do not try a man unless you have reasonable expectation of getting a guilty verdict. Reasonable doubt is akll over this case. Corey simply gave in to political pressure.

I get I should add smileys as a way to insult those I disagree with. I shall be a bigger person and refrain from the practice.

I can confront you in my neighborhood....I can ask you questions...its NOT illegal to do so. You can answer, refuse to answer, walk away or anything else but start a physical altercation. The big question is who started the physical altercation. If it was Zimmerman...then he is guilty. If it was Martin then SYG will apply.
Bottom line: The court and jury will decide based on the evidence. It wont be decided on this forum by those who think they know all the evidence.
Technically, since Mr Zimmerman didn't even know where he was in "His so called neighborhood"....I have to question what you've written. You say it is ok to follow someone "in your neighborhood"...Actually Trayvon was in his neighborhood, he was staying there, right down the street from where Mr. Zimmerman took his life...after following him....I don't think this is the example you mean it to be. I don't care where you live or where you are from, when an armed man follows you, especially into a dark, isolated area....You are at risk. I know we will never know the truth. But there are many reasons a young man might respond when they feel threatened. I still say Trayvon was the one having to stand his ground....only he was not carrying a weapon...Premeditated imo...for Mr. Zimmerman to be carrying a loaded gun into an area so unfamiliar to him he was lost. No excuse any of you offer can rationalize Mr. Zimmerman's actions.....He was wrong, he caused this whole situation, a 17 year old kid died because of his actions.

Quite a fashion accessory.

Before Zimm, how many permit holders have been charged with gun crimes?
Precious few, if you can find any.
Maybe normal people. GZ was not what you'd call "normal". He was a wannabe cop with a lot of anger. People who don't carry guns do not shoot other people.

Yeah, to somebody accustomed to carrying, it's like wearing a watch.
Carrying a weapon should never get so comfortable that you become complacent. I suppose you buy George's story that forgot he even had his weapon on him???

Nowhere in my post did I insinuate that the people that carry guns are more apt to use them to kill or harm. I specifically referred to them as tools of ego enhancement.
