First and foremost I am a avid proponent of second amenments rights and responsible firearms ownership. Plain and simple the guy acted irresponsibly. > > Was the kid an angel no, do I think Zimmerman should go to jail for life no. However there should be some kind of legal ramifications for his stupidity. There is no reason for neighborhood watch to carry firearms, thats what trained members of law enforcement are for. **Private citizens should be allowed to carry for their protection only not enforcing the law**. He was using it for his own protection… He was getting beaten with his head getting smashed against concrete. If he didn’t shoot the Trayvon, when would Trayvon have stopped beating him? Reminds me of the old saying “I’d rather be judged by twelve than carried by six.” --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/neighborhood-watch-leader-shoots-fl-teen/263127)._
