After been acquitted in the shooting death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin; George Zimmerman  is a free man which means he is entitled to get his gun back and his lawyer said  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.

Prosecutors in their closing argument had said that Zimmerman getting out of his car with a loaded gun to follow the teenager led to Martin’s shooting. He was acquitted Saturday night of murder in Martin’s death in a case that has sparked widespread outrage among supporters of the Martin family.

The lawyer said Zimmerman, 29, will be entitled to get his Kel Tec 9 pistol back.

Yes, he does,” O’Mara said. “The concealed weapons permit is another matter because that’s a decision by another state agency and they will make that decision.”
