Law abiding citizens with guns

[PredFan]

How would all of you gun folks feel about a gun in every car? EVERY car has a gun in it.
What do you think would be most likely to happen?

What a stupid post.

Even convicted felons have a gun in their car? No gun rights supporter is going to agree with tyhat.

try again.

Blaming guns for gun violence is like me blaming spelling mistakes on my pencil.

Laws banning guns only disarm law-abiding people and leave them at the mercy of criminals confident their victims lack the means to resist.

LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WITH GUNS
Shot and killed his wife and daughter and then blew him self up. Well he was a law abiding citizen until he murdered his wife and daughter.
Zimmerman was a abiding citizenship with a gun until he targeted, stalked and murdered an unarmed teenager. Guns in the hand of law abiding citizens get into the wrong hands and kills innocent people.
Stand our Ground law is a license to legally kill. Provoke someone you want to off and when he attack you, you can kill him and claim self defense because you “felt” your life are in danger.
Thousand of guns are in the hand of law abiding white militia groups who want the take the country back and turn it white again. But it never was white.
Trayvon was not a threat to Zimmerman life and he know it. A lanky 140lb kid without even a boy scout knife. Zimmerman could have fought back with the hand that held the gun and pulled the trigger. He chose not to and he took a teenagers life. Trayvon’s parents did not lose their child. Zimmerman shot and killed him and an apology not stating that is not a apology. Trayvon is dead and not lost.

You should change your name to LOL Lady, because that's what I do every time I read your posts.

If you're REALLY so afraid of law abiding citizens with guns, you need to take some responsibility for your own protection: get a gun, learn how to use it.

You mean... if everyone were like me and carried both a handgun and a long gun in their car?
I'd be happy that the world had finally moved toward 'normal'.

I am against citizens carrying guns because I believe that much more harm would result than if they were prevented from carrying guns. We have enough road rage as it is, without adding guns to the mix.
Just my view.

How many of the hundrreds of thousands of CCW holders in the US have acted, with their gun, on the wrong side of a road rage incident?

And you were probably a sane and logical person until you found a keyboard and an audience.

Likewise, for Zimmerman, SYG doesn’t come into play, it would be a mistake to put SYG ‘on trial’ with Zimmerman, he’ll use the statue as part of his defense, but will be judged in the context of that law, and his possible ignorance of it will not be an excuse.

At trial will there be any onus for the Defense to prove this was a situation of self defense? How will this work?

Self defense is an affirmative defense, which means that the burden is on the defense to establish it. The burden of proof is less than beyond a reasonable doubt - usually by a preponderence of the evidence or by "clear and convincing evidence," depending on the particular jurisdiction (state) involved.

It’s possible, but not likely, the case may not go to trial, Zimmerman’s attorney will certainly file a motion seeking immunity from prosecution. The judge could rule the shooting was indeed in self-defense.

‘Not likely’ for political reasons, the judge punts to the jury.
