This has nothing to do with "gun interests," but I do hear from my

Perhaps with some but certainly not all. Among the owners and CCP
holders that I know, a fairly conservative group, there is a general
consensus that Zimmerman over reached the bounds of both "Stand Your
Ground" and the concealed carry laws. The required FL CCP courses
make a major point that the permit confers no police power whatsoever
and that CCP holders should *never* attempt to apprehend or detain a
suspect. Zimmerman was out of line the moment he got out of his
vehicle.
