George Zimmerman will get his gun back now that he has been cleared of murder and his lawyer said today that Zimmerman needs the weapon "even more" than before.
Zimmerman's lawyer Mark O'Mara also practically dared the family of Trayvon Martin to file a widely expected civil suit against him, but said that Zimmerman might be filing lawsuits of his own.
O'Mara, in an exclusive interview with ABC News, suggested that Zimmerman has no regrets about carrying a gun on Feb. 26, 2012, the night he killed Martin, a teenager.
The lawyer said Zimmerman, 29, will be entitled to get his Kel Tec 9 pistol back.

(7,719 posts)HE did it to himself....he put a permanent target on his own back by engaging in vigilanty activism. Were I Zimmerman, I would try to disappear to some far corner of the earth, cuz I bet there are there are those who will attempt to retaliate against the heinous act he committed. I think he would have been killed in prison had he been convicted.
No amount of guns will protect him now, his only hope is to disappear.
I do not wish the man any harm. He was tried and acquitted by a jury of his peers. That's the way our system works, but I'm sure there are those out there who, like Zimmerman, might attempt to take justice into their own hands. Zimmerman was wrong to do so, and anyone else attempting to do this is wrong. There is too much hate in this country!
