All,
After some discussion among the 1911 Forum staff we've decided to permit an active thread regarding the ongoing case involving George Zimmerman and the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. However, we have laid down some simple ground rules:
1. All other threads created on this topic will be locked.
2. This discussion will remain on-topic and focused primarily on the case as it pertains to self defense, RKBA, and "Stand Your Ground" laws.
3. Absolutely NO discussions involving the issue of race, nor ridicule of any of the affected parties will be tolerated.
4. The forum staff will actively monitor this thread and reserves the right to immediately remove any post without warning if it fails to adhere to the above or else appears trolling in nature. Also, if this entire thread proves too difficult to control it may be locked or deleted.
The case of Florida vs. Zimmerman is a very emotionally charged event, and it is sure to evoke some very strong opinions. Please keep them professional and don't get in each others' faces like the rest of the country is currently doing. Again, we want this discussion to focus on how it affects us as gun owners and not on controversial segments unrelated to RKBA.
Thanks,
The 1911 Forum staff
