Gov. Rick Scott of Florida on Thursday named the members of a task force that will examine the state’s gun’s laws, including the expansive and controversial Stand Your Ground law that has been cited in the Feb. 26 shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

The 17-member panel is being led by Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll; the vice chairman is the Rev. R.B. Holmes Jr., the pastor of the Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Tallahassee, one of the largest churches in Florida. The task force will report back to the governor and the Legislature.

Ms. Carroll said the group includes a mix of law enforcement officials, lawmakers, neighborhood watch leaders, criminal defense lawyers and prosecutors, among others.
