When one considers that the police shoot nearly 6 times as many innocent
bystanders as armed citizens, while armed citizens shoot more than twice as
many criminals, one has to wonder who the ignorant halfwits really are

Hmm. I guess I'm beyond the pale: I carry TWO guns. I carry a standard 9mm
weapon (a CZ-75) for personal protection and a .22 revolver as my BUG (Back
Up Gun).

Since 1995, when the concealed weapon law went into effect in my state, I've
displayed my weapon three times to discourage a quite possible assault or
robbery. Admittedly, two of these incidents were in disreputable venues (a
Home Depot parking lot).

So far, I haven't had to shoot anyone (does shooting a hippie count?), but
by the same metric no periwinkle has shot or robbed me.

I only did it once when two individuals were making a beeline for me from 2
different directions, in a parking lot, late a night.
Interestingly, as soon as a turned to face both of them and very obviously
drew my gun to a low carry, they immediately , and in perfect
synchronization, changed direction and boogied off at speed on a path
perpendicular to their original directions
..
That was clear confirmation of my initial estimate that their intentions
were not friendly.

Trayvon was caught at his Miami school with a "burglar tool" and a dozen
pieces of womens jewelry in his backpack. So it is very probable that he
WAS casing homes to burgle,and got angry when he found he was being watched
by Zimmerman. It would explain the violent attack,and also accounts for why
he was "acting suspiciously" and roaming around the neighborhood at night.
The "skittles and tea" was probably a convenient excuse to go out after
dark.
Trayvon was NOT a "good kid",he was bad enough to have been suspended from
school several times,and bad enough his mom shipped him from Miami to
Sanford so his "father" could keep him in line. HARDLY "innocent".


I also learned that Trayvon's "father" was out on the town with his GF that
night,and "home alone" Trayvon apparently was NOT grounded(or violated his
grounding),and decided to make a trip to the 7-11.
Amazing that a "father" would not ground his son after his being suspended
from school AGAIN,this time for a whole
week,and apparently bad enough that his "mom" shipped him off to Sanford.
I also wonder if the "parents" were told by the school of their finding the
burglar tool and jewelry in Trayvon's backpack.

then there's the matter of Trayvon's gold "grill";
starting cost is $600-1000 for a basic set. Then add in several tattoos at
about $50 a pop,and that's some serious money for an unemployed 17 yr old.
Maybe he paid for all that with proceeds from stolen jewelry?
I doubt his mom is going to hand over that sort of cash to the kid.

Well, no. Zimmerman showed considerably more restraint that I would or would
normal care dictate. For example, I wouldn't let some goblin hit me in the
nose or bash my head against the concrete before I canceled his ticket.

Unfortunately, had they not been of criminal intent but just other

when you showed the gun, called the police, and had you arrested for
threatening them by showing them your gun.

It takes more than showing a gun in my state. I had a teenager pull a
shotgun on me, barrel pointing right at my belly. The situation
diffused & I called the cops. Cops asked "But did he actually *say*
he was going to shoot you?" When I said "no" the cop said "Sorry,
nothing I can do." Obvious intent trumped by lack of verbal
statement.

Possible but frankly not of consideration.
1) There were no other cars near my car
2) There were no other exits near my car
3) They had no business making a beeline for me from 2 different
directions.
4) They were not dressed in any fashion that justified their presence
there
5) They were no dressed in any fashion that made me believe they had any
legal business with me
6) Their sudden almost synchronized change of direction at me reaching
for my gun was confirmation enough that they were not approaching me to ask
for a light

And frankly as soon as they skedaddled, I drove away.
So the cops would have had a hard time identifying me or my car.
At best, they would be able to claim it was a station-wagon.

Not to mention that it would be a hard sell for the police to charge me with
threatening just because I unholstered and held the gun to my leg pointing
to the ground.
My lawyer ,who happens to be a shootist, and also was a prosecutor for over
20 years, is the one who suggested that to be the first step in case I felt
threatened.
And I'll take his advice over yours any day.

Wow
That is exactly why my lawyer made the suggestion of drawing but holding
the gun against your leg pointing at the ground.
It's hard to infer intent when clearly the gun is NOT pointed at someone.

Particularly since a .12 Gauge is more commonly called an 8 pounder

A 12 ga. is a shoulder fired personal firearm.

On two of the three occasions I had to display my weapon, *I* was the one
who called the police.

Both times the cops volunteered that I did the right thing (by displaying
the weapon).

My lawyer ,who happens to be a shootist, and also was a prosecutor
for over 20 years, is the one who suggested that to be the first step
in case I felt threatened.
And I'll take his advice over yours any day.


Yep. The "offense" is in the mind of the beholder. In your case it matters
not that the two people were soliciting contributions to the Home For Abused
Otters. What YOU saw and concluded is the ONLY thing that matters.

If, of course, your apprehension agreed with the "reasonable man" test...

LOL
We were just discussing a running gag in the series Due South, where the
main character acquired a scar on his chest, while in grade school, because
another student has swung a dead otter at him..
