if you and I have an argument, play with me for a second. You clear leather, and shoot me dead... and claim SYG... by your own laws it is justifiable.

Even if at no moment your life was actually endangered...

This is why am glad the Martin incident, yes it is a major incident. is bringing this discussion to the fore. And why these laws should be seriously reviewed. They do have some serious problems.

When you only have ONE side of the story every shooting can be justifiable and impossible, or next impossible to prosecute... why castle doctrine has it's place... so does legal review.

I know you cannot see this, that is fine... someday perhaps the insanity will end. Perhaps this will finally drive some sanity back into the discussion.

By the way, you carefully avoided the fact that Mr. Zimmerman should have lost his CCW after he received the restraining order. In fact, he should not ever have qualified due to an assault on a police officer. This is what I mean about falling through the damn fracking crack.
