Today, let’s talk about the Zimmerman case and review the CCW general rule of thumb protocol for self defense.

We all know by now how the lamestream media is hyping all this up and the usual band of race baiters are scrambling about as well. Now the black Nazi Party is going around being the Jack booted goon squad that they are in real life (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. never supported or condoned these jerks).

I am going to look at this from the little I know and point out all the mistakes Zimmerman made in this case without emotion or anger.

As a CCW holder, Zimmerman had a responsibility to think and weigh all his options. Such as: How can I avoid the violence? Is there a way out or an exit plan? I don’t need to be the hero, he is only a kid. Was this guy an armed threat to me or others?

With all of these concerns taken into account, Zimmerman might have made a better judgment call and avoided the legal and more than likely civil lawsuits in his future.

From the bits and pieces of the 911 call made, it sounds like he was told not to follow or chase Trayvon. As part of a watch program, most organizations mandate that you only observe and report.

To quote SPIDERMAN: “With great power, comes great responsibility.”

A CCW is, and I repeat is, a thinking man’s responsibility and should never be used in anger or with a hero complex. That will just bring you loads of trouble.

I am a gun owner myself and I support CCW programs for self defense of your person, your family and others. But to squeeze that trigger is the very last option and should only be done as a last resort.
