"If Trayvon Had Only Answered In an Appropriate Manner There Would have Been No Problem"

[L0oniX]

49. I carry everyday and everywhere I am allowed to in Florida. Even my store has a gun.

We just had a robbery a few stores down from ours. I expect that there are many who carry and am not surprised when I meet anyone who says they do. I reject the idea that everyone else who carries should be punished or condemned or put down because some asshole misused his right to carry. He clearly violated the training that one gets or should get before getting a permit to carry. You can not provoke a confrontation and then shoot someone because they came back at you. That sheriff should be fired and there should be charges brought up. Which charges I don't know but I would think negligent homicide at the least is in order. I resent the blanket anti gun angst. About 50% of DU members have a gun or guns. Police also misuse their guns. Do you feel uncomfortable when you are close to them? Oh yea they are trained more ...well that's a matter of who spends how much time at the range and takes on other training. I am a security guard. If anything the training courses one has to complete to receive a cwp should be more extensive with more law enforcement oversight. No one should take the right to carry lightly. No one should be trying to confront others so as to be able to use their gun.

Oh yea and ...if I were in a 711 and you were there at the counter and robber with a gun came in ...I would shoot him.
