We wouldn't be arguing about the law if the authorities had arrested Zimmerman ... spin Mar 2012 #33

I think that police department is going to burn when the FBI gets through with them. AtheistCrusader Mar 2012 #35

Add CCW holder to your list of Zimmerman's qualifications. Pholus Mar 2012 #17

If you can show me where someone said CCW holders NEVER make shadowrider Mar 2012 #18
