Just to clarify on the post--I know very little about the character of Trayvon or George--simply what I've read in the media (which I take with a heavy grain of salt on both accounts). Gold teeth and tattoos don't make him a bad person. Weed doesn't make him a bad person. I used those details as an example to show the disparity between how the media portrayed Trayvon (that of a 13 year old boy)and who he was at the time of the shooting (much older and more developed). I also portrayed the story from what I could put together from the point of Zimmerman--not necessarily what actually happened--only that it MIGHT be what happened. My point in the story, as I outlined, was not to prove Zimmerman was innocent, only to show that even if he was innocent (or more accurately, justified in the shooting) his entire life could still be ruined. If he's not justified then he should be tried, convicted, and sent to prison where he should serve a long sentence for taking the life of an innocent boy. Either way he should have a chance at a fair trial--innocent until proven guilty--which I don't think he'll ever get because of the media coverage. Either way, as someone who carries a firearm, the lesson to be learned is that you must be willing to go through this experience when you decide to pull the trigger--because it can happen whether or not you are justified. If you can avoid pulling the trigger then do what you can to do so. Because justified or not, George Zimmerman's life will never be the same. Rhonda–Thanks for your comment.

Well here we go in reading what you called none judgemental point of view I find that you gave your insight with judgement. You not only did that but you held a child to the same standard as an adult; let me just point this out to you; do you not know there is a such thing as fads, we all had them you had yours be it hot pants or just a dance where your parents did not agree and saw it as disgraceful. I hardly think the fact that this kid had gold teeth made him a bad person. I also think that just because he had an empty bag which showed traces of mj made him a bad person either we have many bad people in this life rapist, murderer, and politician who steal us blind and we vote them into office. Now you painted a clear picture of Mr. Zimmerman with all his accolades as an adult, but does this make him a good person? Only he knows the answer to that on the night in question. Though you are a good writer maybe you got lost in your translation of being a gun owner Only you know the answer to that as well. I would like to thank you for the picture you painted as a gun owner on what could actuallly happen, how we should consider various situations in how to best protect ourselves with our choice of wepons.

I particularly liked how you examined both sides thoroughly. There are pros to each, but like you said most people prefer concealed carry (myself included). Love this country! I enjoyed the article.
