The cartridge was still in the chamber and several freepers have confirmed that it would automatically discharge unless some thing kept it from working.

Do you mean the "casing"? A cartridge is automatically reloaded when an automatic works correctly.

I believe the reporter told Hannity the police have a pic of Zimmerman’s bloody nose. She said Zimmerman did not know his nose was broken until the doctor looked at it in the hospital. The hospital should have the records and the police would have the pics.

Don't know what I mean .....that's why keep asking questions from people on FR that know guns and particularly this model of gun.

It just hit me that something was very wrong concerning the firing of the gun...Plus the struggle over the gun....the gun being in the holster so soon after it was fired.

Just a gut feeling.
