This exchange has nothing to do with the validity of the charges against Zimmerman, which I think are weak. It does reflect on the idea that in a post trial verdict that Florida residents are somehow more well armed than their California counterparts post Rodney King. I was asked if California has SYG as if that afforded some great protection to people in Florida. I ask what good does it do in a politically charged atmosphere such as this?

If you lived in Florida, you’d understand that a majority of state residents support SYG. What good does it do in this environment? PLENTY! There have been numerous stories lately with regard to SYG in Florida media. They’re trying to find a strawman but are finding that most defensive uses of firearms in Florida are legitimate and don’t always end in gunfire.

It’s a necessary enumeration to our code, I believe. It’s as important to discuss and for the public to understand as in concealed carry, Castle Doctrine, or even the Second Amendment.
