So george must have felt he was protecting himself then. I keep posting if he meant to kill the guy he never would have called 911. Shit if he was hunting all he had to do was shoot and keep walking.

If you're carrying it, it implies that you're prepared to use it, and circumstances could therefore all too arise in which your actions can be construed as murder.

There is NO ban of carrying a firearm in the US. Everybody has the right to carry you only need a permit to carry concealed.

I'm still waiting for the blank panthers to get arrested for *conspiracy to commit aggravated murder*

oh wait, that will never happen now will it

The prosecutor bypassed the Grand Jury, because they would have dismissed the case.

naw to much media tainting

No, if you're legally carrying in this country, that means you are able to defend yourself. And everyone does not have the right to carry in all states here.

One night at 1:00 am, I turned into my neighborhood and a carload of hispanic gang members blacked out their lights, swerved over at me, and tried to force me over to stop. They cut me off, and I stopped, pointed my gun out the window at them, and they sped off in such a panic they slammed into the curb. I made a U-turn and got out of what the police told me was a car-jacking attempt, and I didn't have to fire a single shot.

Excellent point, and I've made that same point myself. If he was out to hunt down people, use his gun and shoot someone, he would not have been on the phone with the police.

one more thing i keep wondering to, If martin was on the phone with his girl and felt in danger why not tell her to call 911 and report George???

So many thing twisted by the media............

If you wind up stalking an unarmed kid, tell the police "They always get away" and shoot and kill the kid, then yes...bringing a gun to the scene is evidence (not necessarily proof) that you intended to shoot someone that night (not necessarily someone you knew, but that you just had an itch to play vigilante and take it all the way). The statement about always getting away may be enough to establish that intent. It depends on the jury.

A gun in your pocket might make you feel like a big man, but it won't change your dick size. In the interests of everybody's safety and sense of decorum, leave your gun at home and your teeny weenie in your pants.

I know that. But it doesn't invalidate what I said.
