What happens when you rightfully and legally defend yourself with a handgun? Well, now you know that, even if you are in the right in defending yourself, your life will never be the same again, that it can turn upside down. Now you know that everything you do, from speeding to visiting firearm manufacturers to divorces will be used to suggest you were guilty all along. Now you know that if you subsequently go through the typical messy and adversarial break-up and divorce, that every little tidbit of your life will be out there for the world to see, to chew on. That your once loving wife will use everything she knows to bury you. Now you know that there are those who will hound you throughout time, waiting for you to belch at the wrong time, to be human. No forgiveness for being human. Now you know that the trauma of surviving can be hell. Better to be judged by six than carried by six - only to be harassed by millions.
Now you know that even if you are legally permitted to carry a concealed weapon, somehow that will not matter to some people, will be seen as a sign of guilt. What does this quote mean? "One particular question that might be answered if video can be pulled from the damaged device is whether George Zimmerman was carrying a weapon during the confrontation." What, he is not allowed to carry his legally concealed pistol because he is in a confrontation? He should have left it outside? Should have called a time out and pulled it out to put it down?
Zimmerman has two big problems: He had to shoot an African-American teen in self-defense and he is married to a women. Hence, he is interacting with two "protected" groups who seemingly can do no wrong. And he can do no right.
So why would anyone want to be a neighborhood watch captain again?
