When this case is over all the gun bunnies will be able to patrol their gated communities and hound and follow those not quite like them into provoking them to finally attack so they can say in the end I feared for my life so I had to put a cap in him.

Gun bunnies rejoice after all this is really what our founding fathers wanted all alone.

You do know this is NOT a Stand Your Ground case, don't you?

My gut feeling is that he's not guilty. He wasn't there to start a fight, he was there to observe and report to the police. But once the fight was underway, he became fearful and defended himself. Self-defense is not a crime as far as I know.

What's gun bunny? Me because I carry a gun? Maybe I want to protect myself. I have been robbed at gunpoint, robbed with a boa knife, shot thru the intestines with a 38 cal (almost died) and more than I can say here.

If a person is being hurt, attacked and robbed and they can not protect themselves, they will cherish the ground I walk on when I save their life because I am armed.

Call it what you want. You follow a person whom you think by your own claims is weird and up to no good and are instructed not to follow until the guy turns on you and then you fear for your life in my mind does not give you carte Blanche to shoot the guy. There has to be some degree of guilt on the guy who did the following.

Yell fire in a crowded theatre, it's free speech ... Same thing with the gun bunnies. Follow a hoodlum until he turns on you and claim self defense. That's a gun bunny.

I have had a carry permit since 2001 in Florida and Tennessee. My first charge is to make sure me and my family do not put themselves in a bad situation to start with. If I can avoid and walk away that is my first choice. If I am attacked out of the blue then that's a different story.

A gun bunny would put themselves into a situation where they would have no choice but to pull their weapon and shoot.

Understand this....THIS entire fiasco from start to finish has been 100 percent political from the very start.

A young man was killed, and the man who shot him was being investigated as prescribed by law. Until outside POLITICAL influences, at the request of the media contacts, BEFORE the investigation was complete OR by law needed to be complete. The fabrications of facts that were published seem to be ignored...not a big deal, and daily on here we are treated to POLITICAL comments disguised under "sympathetic" comments for a young man. Zimmerman, of corse needs to be held accountable BY THE LAW, not by Al Sharpton and those who seem to enjoy this kind of "entertainment".

Sad to say but if this was a black man shooting a black youth, there would not be this hoopla, and maybe those who get into this so deeply could start a thread about the firefighters in Arizona who were killed. Sad to say, once the Sharpton's of this world saw an opportunity, it was made a political issue and every ingredient, including gun control was "in play", and this became a theme

Sad it is.....those who as a result of this "publicity stunt" view zimmerman as a monster and who actually on here refer to his scary life after trial, OR those who now view Martin as a punk who got his due, should be ashamed of being used by political movements.

Just my opinion, but seeing people make this horrible situation into what it has become is very distressing.

This is politics and gun control is not exempt

So, when a "hoodlum" (your terminology not mine) that you are following( not illegal as far as I know) jumps you and starts bouncing your head off of the sidewalk like a basketball what should someone do? Ask him to stop?

If a "hoodlum" doesn't want to risk death when assaulting someone, he might want to chose an unarmed victim.

Urban Dictionary:

N. A person who loves guns, especially big ones, and has lots of them, often to a ridiculous degree. Mel Gibson and Renee Russo's characters in Lethal Weapon 3 could be considered gun-bunnies.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in Commando, and all the commandos in Predator were better examples of gun bunnies. Often used in a mildly derisive manner.

Most frequently used this way in role-playing games (RPGs).
"And so the gun bunny whips out a rocket launcher and blasts that stupid neighbor's dog that wouldn't shut up."

I am glad you clarified your position later on.
I have had a carry permit since approx. 1975. I have never pulled my gun nor wanted to. To a certain point you are correct.

However, it seems in your first few posts you were classifying anyone with a gun as a "gun bunny" (your term). The gun owners who are law abiding and who would turn the other way to avoid a fight GREATLY outnumber those who would not. To most of us, having a gun (and carry permit) doesn't make you macho. Personally, I enjoy the shooting sports but also want one for defense.

As the saying goes - Better to have one and not need it than to need it and not have one.

Why do people care so much about Zimmerman being proven guilty or not guilty? I do not understand the attraction to this tragic event.

You don't follow the hoodlum. That's the first thing. The rest is mute because it would not have happened.

Or...If you are a hoodlum, you don't assault a man who has a gun. As you said, the rest is mute because it would not have happened.
