> “Current law prevents someone who feels he is in mortal danger from brandishing a firearm or fire a warning shot. If you wave around your weapon or fire a shot in the air, you can get a minimum of 20 years in jail.” [column]
How close or far off is that from the truth? It seems to me that the best time to pull out a gun is well before the attacker has broken your nose, and is sitting on top of you and pounding your head into the pavement (Zimmerman was lucky to be able to get off a shot at that point). If you pull out a gun when the words or gestures of an approaching person indicate that you’re about to be attacked, that might be effective in preventing the attack. What are your chances of going to prison if you do?
I don’t have a permit to carry myself, but wonder what’s the recommended practice. Do you put your hand on the concealed weapon and say, “I have a gun. Stay away!” And if so, at what point do you actually take it out?
I was told in CCDW class (KY):
Do any thing you can to get away from it. If you can't and you honestly believe your life is in danger, pull the gun, aim, say "stop or I'll shoot", they don't stop then you shoot them. Unless of course it is happening too fast to give a verbal warning.
Do not shoot a warning shoot. NEVER shoot a gun into the air, extremely dangerous thing to do.
I am grateful never to have been anywhere near a situation that dire. I honestly believe that although I might hesitate for myself, if my wife or daughter was the intended prey, I would not hesitate to be brutal. No fooling around, you're dead.
I wonder if Gary Stein would feel the same way if some big black guy were on top of his son pounding him in the face!
I bet not. Jeez, what an original thought! Liberals make me ill. Just to write a story, the man tells factual lies and makes it seem as if Zimmerman just walked up and shot Trayvon. And, oh let’s ignore the fact that Trayvon was not a choir boy either!
“Im tired of absolute facts being omitted and absolute lies are professed to advance a false narrative. Its a sign of a dying civilization when truth is purposely omitted and ignored.”
We have been fed a steady diet of lies for quite a while. I believe that we are finally getting some truth out, and it shows how much we have and are being lied to. JFK would never have been elected president if the old media did not cover for him.
I hope this is a parody. It’s stupid and misleading even by lib nutjob standards.
I seldom see people mention a masters degree ouside of a resume.
I wonder if he has ego gratification problems. A lot of political leftists do.

Karma, Gary....Karma.
George waited until Trayvon was trying to KILL HIM before defending himself.
He didn’t just go gun down some innocent kid cruising through the hood.
Thanks for the information.
Make what disappear Mr Stein? How about a criminal act by the President ?
If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama

This is reference to an editorial run in Canada Free Press. The Canadians got it right.! Too bad half of the so called conservatives talk show hosts Ive been listening to cant seem to be willing to connect the dots to what a heavy hand his imperious highness played in this example of socialist justice meted out to serve the policies of the state . Turning this into a show trial replete with wall to wall tv coverage.. Taking some poor guy of mixed race including black doing his job and painting a target on his back to fullfill a socialist agenda.
The truth and purpose behind the Zimmerman persecution .. The regime and the media set the premise for the trial narrative and their presentations ignoring the setting where the incident took place..An area having a Neighborhood Watch and the person working security just doing his job. Why was this episode politicized ?...The first was to gin up the base for purposes explained herein ..
If some of those so called conservative talk show hosts had interviewed guests who run such watches and had the courage to fight PC and defend Zimmerman they would have exposed the regime and the media for the frauds they are. The few who are still milking this by accepting black callers. While they are commentators and not bonafide “newspersons” nothing was stopping them from offering the facts for discussion.
Allowing callers to mis-state the facts such as as Martin was stalked or Martin was stopped and questioned when there was no legal right to do so.If the aftermath of this insidious revisionist assult were investigated everyone of the perpetrators in this recent rash of racial killings would state they believe this is true. . Instead these hosts fail to cite the simple facts outlined and documented here, allow the callers miss-conceptions go unchallanged, or cite examples of policy or corruption let alone ask them what has Obama done for you? Or even dismiss them as unfortunately being used and deliberately mis-informed..
Particularly a gated neighborhood watch.When you enter one of these and start wandering around no matter if you are white, blue, red, green, or black. You can be asked your purpose for being there. You are on private property. And yes those on patrol can and do leave their vehicle and follow on foot if they lose sight of the person theyre observing..Thats the Watch Captains who is really a security guards job.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3054721/posts
The person of mixed race including black working security was attacked on private rights of way while on foot who discontinued an observation and was returing to his vehicle after being suggested by the police to do so.
Legally he could have approached Saint Trayvon but didnt..The hooded tall figure was allowed to continue on his way.unimpeded. But didnt. That figure turned out to be a Martin Trayvon who doubled back and attacked the neighborhood watch worker as he was returing to his vehicle. Knocked him to the ground and began beating him severly. Saint Trayvon, the attacker, was subsequently killed in a struggle over the Neighborhood Watchmans legal pistol.
Both were dark skined and could pass as cousins.
The facts of this case are still being shamefully being concealed by the media to the extent they are advancing and are complicit in permitting a putrid injstice of the worst order,organized and instituted by our governent, to be committed .
While denied. It began as a miscalculation when a surname of a Jewish origin shot up and lighted the heavens like a star shell in the darkest of nights. It would have been difused if the media used pictures of both side by side because they look like cousins. And the area where this occured of paycheck to paycheck struggling homeowners of all races trying to protect themselves had been reported and not some ritzy all white enclave.they portrayed..
Worse yet the media is still pilling it on with ABC editing a a black jury members (remember when they were all white)t remarks to make it sound like she accused Zimmerman of murder .

The result as we have seen is that another marxist axiom (division) has been implemented which has resulted with gangs of black youths murdering happless whites and hispanics who happen into areas usually where a black population is the majority. Those media outlets who by their delberate misuse of the instrument of the 1st amendment are just as complicit in those deaths as the regime is.
Particularly the black media which had the duty but not the obligation to verify and report factually. But instead quoted the reports from various mainlining socialist media sources: Some examples here all of which serve the first purpose of selecting Zimmerman as the target. What is the result ?
Black youths believing they would get top level peer approval began attacking happless white and hispanics which may have wandered into their area which resulted in murders or serious injury and some cases stalked their white victims.
In reality these victims are martyrs to the cause of American socialism.,and the political opposition says nothing..

What could the purpose be ?
What better way to cover up Bengahzi, Fast and furious, IRS, Wind and Solar panel gate, NSA spying on US, Over-riding the constittution? Dont look into who accompaines Obama on his many trips around the world at taxpayer expence ? Were they the heavy hitters or their friends holding the presidents hand isnt that pay back at US taxpayer expence?. Isnt that an impeachable offense ??
Now if somebody even suggests impeachment. Get to your black base voters, whom youve done nothing for,.all worked up. Pick on some security guard whos doing his job. Accuse him of being racist ,even though he is part black..
But his last name sounds jewish.Whos doing surveilance in an mixed race area of modest means a where theres been robberies and burgalries by young blacks. Now call that surveilance stalking, the area hes patrolling owned by rich whities,and the guard of course hes white.
That person hes watching a 10 year old black kid and a saint ,not six foot two 160 pound 16 year old, who gets killed fighting over a gun. . Now paint a target on the security guards back .Aint that neat ? What better way to discourage any investigation into malfeasance and corruption by organizing the base for riots in the streets ? Think its too far fetched ? Think its not working ? Look again http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3051558/posts
You are encouraged to Print this up or email and -pass it on....Why ? Time to expose citizens to the face the facts that they may believe whatever activity they get involved in is perfectly legitimate and legal. If it suits their purposes this regime and its adhearants will paint a target on their back. Wether its a black hispanic who gets turned into a white hispanic or union members losing their health care benefits if Obamacare gets funded.
To date the political opposition known as Republicans has yet to mention or comment on this example of how this regime operates. Time to ask them why ?
Trayvon Martin, poster child of black privilege.
My policy is to not show until you feel you are in danger and then be ready to make a quick decision. If leaving is not an option, posture means everything.
A 16 year old selling a gun? I think mminors can’t sell guns, so where did he get it? Wads of cash? From a 16 year old. What is he a young Bill Gates, Steve Jobs,. David Packard or Richard Bronson?
Easy, stop talking about him
I have legally carried my tools, concealed and openly, in many states and a few foreign countries.
Frankly I have defensively brandished my car more times than I have displayed my weapon(s).
My personal self-defense arsenal consists of a number of disparate things, including various lethal physical attack movements, edged weapons, and some fairly arcane knowledge of defensive poisons.
I have never been accused of physically attacking anyone.
If attacked, I would not waste any advantage in protecting myself.
So no, there is no such thing as “warning shots” or “scare tactics” I would be willing to employ if I was forced into a physical self defense situation.
Why anyone would think I needed to suffer any degree of physical harm before I actively defended myself from physical attack is something I just don't understand.
The Martin-Zimmerman incident is also useful in revealing the names of total a-holes like Mr. Stein. It’s like he ignored every fact that emerged during the trial. Idiots like Stein desperately want to believe the myth of white killers stalking innocent black youths. The truth is the other way around. Libs can’t stand the truth.
This is the most fascinating part of the whole fiasco. By the standards approved by most of this country's black population, Zimmerman would be considered black. If Martin had been a white youth, what do you think the reaction of the black community would have been? Then Martin would have been a criminally-inclined, young punk who attacked a black man and got what he deserved.
