ZIMMERMAN: No, sir.
HANNITY: You have never heard about it before?
ZIMMERMAN: No.
Zimmerman was a Criminal Justice student and had never heard of the Stand Your Ground law?
It’s difficult to imagine that the topic of self-defense and SYG never came up with Mark Ostrander, the air marshal with DHS and former Seminole County Deputy Sheriff, when they were target shooting together.
On page 42 of the Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm Application is a list all of the applicable laws and conditions related to carrying a concealed weapon, including ‘Stand Your Ground’.
And Commissioner Adam Putnam sent a special notice to concealed weapon license holders concerning the ‘Use of Deadly Force for Lawful Self-Defense’.
Hmmmmmmmm
He may have known it under a different name.
Until this incident I never heard of it.
And the words "stand your ground" do not appear in the statute.
He does have ADD you know. I'm sure he isn't the most avid reader.
Go away already.
My gawd.
He was taking CLASSES at a local community college, he wasn’t in law school, you twit.
And most people probably couldn’t tell you MOST of the laws of their state because there are so many.
And if he did know of the law you think he sat in his truck thinking “Hey i’ll follow this guy and if he turns on me i can use the STAND YOUR GROUND defense?”
Why would GZ lie about knowing a law that doesnt even apply to his case anyway? It’s a straight up self defense case.
