Bill Clinton: Florida, Rethink Stand Your Ground law

Former President Bill Clinton told "ABC Monday" that the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin should cause Florida -- and all states that have expanded their concealed weapons laws -- to rethink the Stand Your Ground law.

Making his comments in an exclusive interview with ABC News focused on his work with Clinton Global Initiative University, Clinton said, "... beyond the incredible personal tragedy -- this young man was not armed, he clearly presented no threat to anybody's life -- is, the most important thing I've read was from the former police chief in Florida in the community, he was one of many law enforcement officers testifying against that Stand Your Ground law. And he said, 'you know this is going to create all kinds of problems. And it's going to be almost impossible to prove what was in someone's mind when a certain thing happened.'"

Clinton said, "People have always had a right to have a handgun in their home- to protect their homes -- then we've seen this breathtaking expansion of the concealed weapons laws in America moving from the late 90's into this decade, far -- if you will -- to the extreme that America had ever been on these.

"And now the Stand Your Ground law. I think the law is going to create real problems because anyone can -- anyone who doesn't have a criminal background, anyone not prohibited by the Brady Bill and caught by the checks -- can basically be a part of a neighborhood watch where they have a concealed weapon, whether they had proper law enforcement training or not. And whether they've had any experience in conflict situations with people or not."
