Overtly challenging the kid while carrying concealed is a big NO NO. That’s where he went wrong in my opinion.
Did he carry while on official neighborhood watch duty?
“A ball bat in Zimmerman’s hand likely would have mitigated the attack.”
“Overtly challenging the kid”
You can’t have it both ways. IMO if some one is carrying a ball bat that is overtly challenging. If they have a concealed weapon it is not an overt threat. Again you have no idea who challenged who. Hopefully we will find the truth in the court room.
[[Overtly challenging the kid while carrying concealed is a big NO NO]]
first of all, whjere did he challenge the kid? Apparently you have evidnece that hte rest of the world isn’t privy to- Secondly, He can carry and confront ANYONE he likes ANY TIME HE LIKES- confrontation is NOT agaisnt hte law- Martin however CRIMINALLY ASSAULTED Zimmerman which Martin did NOT have a right to do
You are makign up rules and makign up facts of the case as you go along in order to support your bleeding heart liberal biass agaisnt gun owners- Martin was LEGALLY within his rights do be o nthat street patroling IF he so wanted to WITH a concealed gun if he so chose to, and confronting any damn person he wanted to whether he was armed or not armed- Martin was NOT legally justified in Criminally Assaulting Zimmerman-
It doesn’t matter if zimmerman was on ‘official neighbiorhood duty’ or not- He was FULLY WITIHIN HIS RIGHTS to carry any damn time he liked and he was udner NO obligation to make that fact known to ANYONE
As for the club comment- Wow- Stunning! You carry your club-, people that actually want protection agaisnt thugs that they don’;t know whether they are armed or not, will continue carrying firearms- You can’t argue with hte FACTS- Violent crimes in Florida have dropped to 40 year low AFTER a million plus conceal carry permits were issued to ordinary citizens fed up with being murdered by thugs with guns- Cities where it’s impossible to get permits to carry the violent crimes are still at all time highs, and climbing every year
“Overtly challenging the kid while carrying concealed is a big NO NO”
If he was overtly challenging him then Zimmerman wouldn’t be able to assert self-defense, as Martin would be within his rights to meet the challenge with violence. Which would make the issue of whether Zimmerman should have been carrying concealed moot, because with or without a weapon showing he wouldn’t have been able to use it in self-defense. Or are you just making the overt challenge part up? That’s my guess.
Is following someone inherently overtly challenging? No. Do you know something we don’t? Probably not. So what you’re saying is anyone who follows anyone else without a clearly visible weapon is inviting violence upon themselves. That’s not how it works in our world, but keep cool in yours.
I hope to God he did.
I do.
Feds can't tell me what to do.
