Don’t lose sight of the fact that Bill Cosby’s son was shot to death during a carjacking. He’s most likely thinking from that perspective. And he has a point that perhaps Mr. Zimmerman acted in ways an unarmed person would not have that evening. We’ll find out soon enough when the investigation is concluded.
An armed person does act a bit differently.
With me and I have learned, with others one tends to be much more polite because an armed individual doesn’t want to get involved in a situation where he has to use the weapon.
He also is more confident because he knows he can more likely take care of a really bad situation.
Now for thugs, it might be a different story but they would not obey any laws affecting carrying or using arms.
You are correct _ I work in Security but we do not carry guns in Australia. I will approach people if I feel safe to do so - I normally will not approach a group of young males or anyone who rings alarms in my head. That being said there is always that one percent who will approach you. I wouldn’t mind having a gun as a deterent for them.

Too bad "The Music" Cosby wasn't carrying that day, and couldn't give the carjackers a few extra holes. Oh, that's right, the state he lived in doesn't allow concealed carry, except when you pay off some sheriff.
FReepers (and Cosby) would do well not to "lose sight of the fact" of the SECOND AMENDMENT. It is in force. Get used to it.
If I remember correctly, Cosby’s son was killed by a car jacker who came to this country from Russia (I believe).
After the murder, Cosby’s wife made the comment about the killer, “America taught him to hate.”
having a bad experience with a bad person doing bad things with a gun and thereby hating all guns makes as much sense
as having a bad experiece with a person of another race and thereby hating all people of that race.
