Zimmerman trial starts today.

[Oerets]

As a rule I treat any person with a gun with caution. But rate a untrained armed person higher as a threat. Nothing more unsettling then a new permit holder carrying their baby. Seems they have to show it off to everyone. Now with the shortage in ammo the novice owner does not even have the experience from going to the range. But still carry a loaded weapon.

Not to long ago a father dropped his 38 two shot derringer when on a kiddy circus ride. Of course it fell on the hammer and went off. Thank God no one was hurt. One of the most unsafe weapons ever made if handled incorrectly. Yet was with children around.

At least a enforcement officer is trained in the use and safety of the weapon. Not so in my state for the common permit holder. Just last week a friend was showing off his HK auto, I had to show him the decocking drop BTW! He's had it for years and never knew it would do that???
