Florida gun group offers free shotguns

A gun group is offering free shotguns to residents in Florida, billing it as a way for people to protect themselves against crime.

Members of the Florida chapter of the Armed Citizen Project, which is based in Texas, began advertising the program on fliers in the Sunshine Gardens neighborhood near Orlando.

The neighborhood is about 25 miles south of Sanford, a city thrust into an international debate about self-defense and race after neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old.

..."If my neighbor is armed, my neighborhood is safer," Ritter said.

2. They better hurry and give them to my Florida development

Burglaries? Oh, no, we actually had a murder. A 68 year old woman shot up her house and then killed her 72 year old invalid husband in his wheelchair. We need our free guns here for protection, against our spouses.
