I have two neighbors who sometimes choose to mow their lawns strapped. One was an axillary officer until trying take over from the State/County Police at an accident scene. The other just likes showing off his guns.

You could come into my home and never know there are any guns around.

Also just think if this was reversed, if a Black man shot a White kid?

You walk into my house, and all you can see is a pellet pistol I use to defend my little dog's honor and a Keen Kutter 20 ga that I've been too lazy to hide.

Whenever we went to Isla Mujeres I hid guns all over the place. Took me two months to find the S&W Chiefs Special I hid is a secret compartment in my stereo stand.

I think I've found them all.

Of course, that would be like asking me where I put my "Arctic Socks" that I haven't worn for 20 years.

I meant the personal stories.

Can't help but think of Oscar Grant. You voluntarily get off a BART train to be restrained by officers and while face down on the ground shot in the back and killed.
Results? Ooops, clumsy me. Involuntary manslaughter, 2 years.

That idiot Geraldo Rivera on Fox and Friends claimed that Zimmerman shot Travon because he was wearing a hoodie.

Horrendous revolter needs to go back and check Capone's vault again or travel to a war zone and reveal troop movements on national TV. What an ignorant putz.

Can't argue with your assessment of Geraldo. He is an ignorant putz.

+2.

Only Geraldo would bring Skinheads and Black Panthers on stage together and be genuinely surprised when a fight breaks out. Total moron deserved the broken nose.

Didn't they hit him in the face with a folding chair, kinda like All Star Wrasslin'?

Even Porkchop Jones knew when to duck.

Laws like Stand Your Ground have been sponsored by the American Legislative Exchange Council to increase firearms sales mainly. During debate in Florida in 2005 one of the state legislatures said it would turn his state into the OK Coral. Jeb Bush has come forward in the past day or so stating that how Zimmerman and his attorney's are using the law is not anything like how he intended it when he signed it into law.

Now there's this. Thanks Mitch Daniels. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/03...cers-into-law/
