Not at all. It should enable more to claim self defense in the act of murder. Now one can stalk another, disobey police orders, provoke an attack, and then kill the attacker claiming self defense. As to the "neighborhood watchman" excuse, I know of no neighborhood watch group where the members go armed, and then do more then call the police. That is what Zimmerman should have done. If he thought something was awry he should have called the police, stayed ion the car, and waited. However, we have too many wannabe "heroes" in this country who are basically cowards with no sense of what it means to be a hero.
