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.

You don't carry a firearm, do you? There is no safer place for a handgun, especially when police will be arriving, than for it to be secured in a holster.

I would have to overcome my training to restore the weapon to operational status -- live round in chamber, not an empty case, if I knew this to be the case. Zimmerman appears to have either the presence of mind to leave the weapon as is (to bolster his case of self defense), or assumed it had it fact cycled fully. In any event all guns are treated as if they are

Uh....That's why I'm asking freepers in the know.
Always intended to get a gun, but my father and son are sure I'd shoot my eye out....They know me best. My next door neighbor has his own range I go watch. Most of my neighbors carry and say they'll look out for me.

My mother was a ace shot on Purdue rifle team. In fact they got confused because of the spelling of her name and tried to draft her.

She tried to teach me, but dad intervened.....I've forgotten everything I knew plus some.
