ORIGINAL: BamaD Then you have the fact that he claimed to be NW but in a situation where he chose to act well beyond the bounds of NW he left his vehicle and pursued a person he believed to a criminal. Did he consider for one second that the "robber" he was tailing might be armed? That the police dispatcher had clearly said to not do so? He was emboldened because he was carrying. That is exactly the wrong sort to even own a firearm. How many times does it have to be pointed out to you that he was off duty that night so NW rules don't apply. How many times do you have to be reminded that the dispatcher said he didn't need to follow, a far cry from don't follow. The fact that the suspicious person, never referenced as a robber, burglar, or anything but suspicious, may have been armed is a good reason to be carrying. No, the fact is that Zimmerman was licensed to carry, it's legal in the state he was in, and he was carrying according to all applicable laws and regulations. As evidenced by the lack of firearms charges against him (Cuz after that child abuse nonsense, you damn well know that if they could have, they would have.). Thus, he needs to justify his carrying to no one. Period. ETA-quote:
I suspect that some CCW and MMA classes don't spend anywhere near enough time on that subject. 100% agree.
