George Zimmerman to Get His Gun Back
abc ^ | SANFORD, Fla. July 14, 2013 | MATT GUTMAN and SENI TIENABESO

Posted on 07/14/2013 2:02:17 PM PDT by Red Steel

George Zimmerman will get his gun back now that he has been cleared of murder and his lawyer said today that Zimmerman needs the weapon "even more" than before.

Zimmerman's lawyer Mark O'Mara also practically dared the family of Trayvon Martin to file a widely expected civil suit against him, but said that Zimmerman might be filing lawsuits of his own.

O'Mara, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, suggested that Zimmerman has no regrets about carrying a gun on Feb. 26, 2012, the night he killed Martin, a teenager.

...

He said that Zimmerman intends to rearm himself. When asked if he would carry a gun, O'Mara said, 'Yes. [There's] even more reason now, isn't there? There are a lot of people out there who actually hate him, though they shouldn't."

The former neighborhood watch captain wears a protective vest when he goes out in public, although he didn't wear it to court, O'Mara said.

Auction it off! Make a bundle! Buy a couple new ones.

My thoughts exactly.

In the first place, if I had to kill somebody in self defense, I would not want to keep the firearm (but that's me).

In the second place, that gun is a piece of history. If he were to auction it off, the Justice for Trayvon crowd would freak out and pool their money together to get it. He could squeeze them for plenty.

Given some of the people who hate his guts, he needs it.

We should take up a collection to get him a tricked out ultimate carry sidearm and an ultralight weight level 3A vest.

No need for a collection - he should actually auction it off. Win-Win - he'll get more than enough money to buy himself a nice arsenal PLUS all the Lib's heads will explode as they p*ss themselves indignant with outrage.

If he doesn’t already have it (and his passport) back, I’d like to know why. And I’m sure that ankle bracelet left him last night....

Who LET The Dogs Out.

Thanks for the correction. Sometimes us seniors just don’t listen carefully enough. It’s a wonder that I remembered one or two of the words.

Hell yeah!

Seeing multiple parts of the Constitution working is a thing of beauty.

Honor Trayvon? Honor him for what? Don’t that piss you off?

I like your suggestion.

Good. Allow him to defend himself against scumbags who threaten him.

There are lots of good gunsmiths in Florida who might be willing to get it back in working order for a very small fee. I know of one (although I can’t vouch for the cost).

Ha, he didn't need another curfew waiver from the judge. He got one from the jury instead.

I hope George sues the life out of NBC.

He is. The suit was put on hold for the criminal trial.

The state of Floriduh should give him a lifetime supply of ammo and a lifetime membership at a top notch shooting range. For starters.
