Laws on self-defense can be tricky, as folks have noted in the case of the young man, Trayvon Martin, who was killed during a neighborhood altercation allegedly by George Zimmerman, who is now being held in jail, pending a decision on the case. This case has raised questions about laws that allow for folks to defend themselves away from home in an aggressive way that can even cause death. So there is a fine line between personal security and self-defense, and what folks can do legally that is now being questioned.
