Thanks, I was beginning to feel lonely. The first reports mentioned Zimmerman's gun (semiautomatic) as recovered by the police, having a full magazine and an empty shell case in the chamber. The only way I could see that happening is Martin grabbing the gun with his left hand over the slide while he tried to wrestle the gun from Zimmerman. If Zimmerman had his finger in the trigger guard and Martin yanked the gun back towards his chest, it is probable that he in fact shot himself in the chest. The gun fired while he was holding the slide in place which prevented the empty from being ejected and a live round from being loaded into the chamber.
It would be very interesting to see if Martin had nitrate residue on his left palm and forearm.

That’s my suspicion as well. Not that such a technical fact will matter to obastard, Sharpton, Jesse, Holder, and Holder’s “my people.” Or the rest of the leftscum...

While I wonder about the powder residue and agree with your probable assessment, the powder residue does not prove anything accept that what Zimmeran said COULD have happened. Martin could have just as well been trying to keep Zimmerman from shooting him and the evidence results would be the same.
