We all know one thing. Pulling your weapon and using it will more than likely be the most dramatic and life changing event we'll ever encounter, but we'll still be alive.

I doubt God will entertain your prayers as worthy of his consideration. Praying for the demise of another is probably an abuse of prayer.

Anyone ever pretending to know what 'god' thinks is particularly objectionable and offensive.

But if I see some suspicious looking dude tooling down the street, I will just call the cops and leave. If I see somebody breaking into a house while I am driving down the road, then I just call the cops and leave. At one time I would interfere if I saw a man beating a woman, not anymore! She turned on me, didn't want the protection/interference. One can never tell these days what type of scum you are coming to rescue, and white knights are no longer really appreciated, even here in Texas.

You do realize the cops rarely come? It takes 20 minutes to see a cop in sleepy little Coppell Texas. In KC a few years ago there was a rolling shootout, when we called 911 it was busy for the first 15 and took another 15 before the first cops showed up. 30 minutes when the local precinct is less than a mile down a major street that had no traffic at the time.

It was Zimmerman's role to patrol and observe as well as his right and until Martin attacked him that's all he did.

Most of the rest of what you wrote, I agree with. Not my business and help isn't always welcome but it depends on the situation. You can observe from a distance until the cops actually show and at least act as their eyes. (that's all Zimmerman was doing) But if a girl or child or anyone is getting beaten and it looks like they be hurt, I think we have an obligation to step up. Not step out. Isn't that why we got CHLs in the first place?

No problem. I'll tone it down.

Just wanted to add that not all libs are libtards or pacifists. I have 6 weapons and 20k rounds in my house and have shot guns since my parents first voted for Nixon in 68. I shoot better than most.

I really had no opinion in the Zimmerman case until they placed such an emphasis on the yelling for help on the 911 call. It occurred to me strongly that one "doesn't bring fists to a gunfight".

If you had a gun you wouldn't risk getting in a fight and getting knocked out, that's just common sense. This implies that Martin attacked Zimmerman and that Zimmerman was the one yelling for help.

I witnessed a stabbing murder in Eastern Europe about 20 years ago and it's amazing how a grown man in fear for his life can end up vocalizing like a teenage girl.

Last but not least, while I voted for and supported Obama in 2008 he's been one of the worst presidents we've ever had. Mainly because he continued so many Bush policies, this Snowden garbage, drones, and hasn't done much to help the middle class. I would have voted for Chris Christie in 2012 had he run. At the end of the day most politicians are frauds and the corporations own America.
