Trayvon Martin.
Died not too far from my town.
I don't want to get into discussing his case again.
Florida's "Stand Your Ground Law" was never intended to be abused like it is today.
I'm all for the rights of gun owners to own any weapon they want (not including military grade weapons), but this law just needs to be re-worded so that there is no mistake in what the law will and will not protect.
Either re-word the law or repeal it completely. Too many innocent people are being murdered under the guise of, "Stand Your Ground."
