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

this newsgroup to believe this attitude is endemic among that crowd.

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.


But that's not what FOX told the viewers.....


Most of us, excluding yourself of course, don't spend our life watching FOX News. I've no idea what
they're saying over there. Apparently you're well versed in it. Good for you, I guess.

Take care, Fred. I'll probably plonk you now.
