(20,709 posts)Do y'all really live in such a bubble that you aren't aware that drunk people sometimes get rowdy and try to pick fights? Do you ever wonder how the rest of us manage to live perfectly safe lives without killing anybody? It's because intelligence is much more important than a gun when it comes to personal safety.
Even in this story, the first guy who the drunk guy went after had the good sense to just leave. The toter could have done the same, and called the police, but instead he decided he wanted to be a gun hero. According to the other story, other witnesses said the shooting was unnecessary. It's funny how the whole NRA crew wants to wait for all the evidence before deciding about Zimmerman, but they have no problem trusting any old gun nut to execute a drunk guy without any kind of due process or trial of any kind.
