Zimmerman's Bloody Head

Quote from RCG Trader:

That was clearly obvious.

Some of you have never even fired a weapon, and know little to nothing about them.

I have a 357 and a couple shotguns. I've shot my share of handguns too.

22 long rifle
9mm Luger
357 magnum
38 special
44 magnum
45 acp

Then of course typical hunting rifles and shotguns. Never shot a person though, and have no idea what to expect.
 
Quote from RCG Trader:

After your recent meltdown, I would venture to say that I detect a bit of envy there:D

That wasn't a meltdown that was a beatdown... I beat all of your asses and you know it...! :D

Envious of what...? Getting shot...? No thanks...!
 
Quote from RCG Trader:

Key word.

ZIMMERMAN WAS NOT A COP!!!!

What an idiotic comment to my post. Geez.

I was pointing out that EVEN POLICE carry their automatic weapons with a round in the chamber. It's no more dangerous than carrying a fully loaded revlover which they used to do.

Nice collection. You must be a pretty good shot with a pistol.

I can't hit the barn door with a pistol but I am hell-on-wheels with a rifle.
 
Quote from pspr:

I'm not certain but I suspect police carry their automatics with a round in the chamber at all times using the saftey to prevent accidental discharge. Zimmerman probably carried his automatic the same way with the saftey on and a round in the chamber. It doesn't take much effort to flip the safety off with your thumb while holding a pistol if you are familiar with the weapon. And, of course, the action of pulling the trigger would have cocked and fired the weapon since automatics are double action.

I don't have a CCW permit, but several friends and relatives do. AFAIK, carrying a round in the chamber is a big no-no until you are intending to use the weapon. Although, the sequence of events as reported by Zimmerman, has TWO confrontations. I guess it is possible that Zimmerman prepared his weapon in anticipation of the second event.

I'm a decent shot. I like guns as sport. I don't hunt much though. Too much work for little reward. I don't take pleasure in killing things. I take pleasure in marksmanship. Anyway, I don't personally believe in carrying a loaded weapon around with me, but recognize a person's right to do so. I don't even keep my guns at my house.

Do you mean legally or safety wise...? From what I know guns don't go off with the safety on...

Legally... if memory serves. But I could be off base, because it is not illegal to carry a revolver, and it always has one in the chamber if fully loaded. So I am probably wrong.

But handgun safety does teach something like 3-4 distinct actions to fire a weapon.

"Zimmerman’s father, Robert, echoed his daughter-in-law’s testimony, saying his son is “absolutely not violent.”

“I’ve never known him to be violent at all unless he was provoked, and then he would turn the other cheek,” Robert told the court. “He’s been honest his whole life.”

"George Zimmerman was fired from his job as an under-the-table security guard for “being too aggressive,” a former co-worker told the Daily News."
(snip)
“He had a temper and he became a liability,” the man said. “One time this woman was acting a little out of control. She was drunk. George lost his cool and totally overreacted,” he said. “It was weird, because he was such a cool guy, but he got all nuts. He picked her up and threw her. It was pure rage. She twisted her ankle. Everyone was flipping out.”
