A pro-gun group will give away shotguns to homeowners in Florida, who reside about 20 miles from where 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was stalked and gunned down by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman.

Television station WESH reported that members of the Armed Citizen Project had gone door-to-door in Orlando passing out fliers to advertise the free firearms.

Armed Citizen Project program director Ron Ritter explained that giving away shotguns was “perfectly legal” in Florida because the guns were being transferred by dealers with a Federal Firearms License (FFL).


But not every resident who got a flier thought that the program was a good idea.

“That doesn’t mean we should all have a firearm,” Robin McLaughlin told WESH. “I would not need to have a shotgun.”


The Armed Citizen Project made the public pronouncement at the latest National Rifle Association (NRA) conference that it intended to give away shotguns in 15 U.S. cities, including mega-cities where gun violence is rampant, such as Chicago and Houston.
