I feel that the rally was indeed justified. He was a kid doing nothing wrong. A nice kid. Shot because he was black.
I doubt that the law will be changed. We didn't have such laws in Ohio.
Until I moved here I haven't ever run into such intense support of carrying and owning guns. It is new and confusing and somewhat disturbing to me.

This was a judgement call by the police based on their opinion if Zimmerman acted in self defense or not. Apparently as they first saw things they felt it was and did not charge him. The law may be changed in that a decision not be made so quicly and without input from other departments or agencies.
I feel Zimmerman was in the wrong once he went he became the agreesor in pursuing Martin. The 911 operator even told him not to do that. What a shame to get killed for carrying a bag of skittles.
Gracie, Ohio has been a shall issue permit state for awhile now. Ohio residents do obtain the permits for and do carry concealed weapons.
