But apparently the HOA organized a neighborhood watch, and received some sort of training from police. The nature of the training I dont know. When a volunteer to be captain was called for, Zimmy volunteered.

He should NEVER have been allowed to carry a gun, at all.

The police are lazy and never actually do the background checks.

(I gave up on all the speculation threads long ago.)

And even if there is, that is a awefully broad brush you are painting with.

Assuming they were prosecuted at all. If so, complain to the prosecutor(s) who did the wrong thing.

It is a data-driven system. Garbage in, garbage out.

There is nothing I wrote that could even remotely be considered defending him.

A technical question was asked, I gave a technical answer. If you are confused, please ask for clarifications.

Except some coward was given "courage" carrying a 9mm and he murdered a teenager who had the temerity to walk through the volunteer's neighborhood. That is indefensible

Your reading comprehension seems to need work, too.

At no point have I "defended" anything, say nothing of CCW. I gave a technical answer to a technical question. If this has left you confused, please ask questions and we can see about clearing up your confusion.

Should have meant automatic revocation. In states like Cali it does, in Florida it does not.

I'm going to imagine there have been some very late night meetings and they are lawyered up. Having been in a HOA, every little thing is a crisis no one can agree on. There are pretty strict laws, as well. But this, probably produced some sleepless nights.

Even is SYG is justified, that only prevents civil action ahainst Zimmy. HOA is still at risk.

as he wasn't a neighborhood watch captain. Zimmerman is a murdering thug and not one thing else. Hopefully the next thing he will be is a convict.
I wouldn't want to be him when he becomes a convict either. Pukes like him are frowned on by most in the slammer and my bet is he will spend many a night crying like a baby after he's been violated and had the shit kicked out of him. Both would be appropriate too.
