Report: Zimmerman told cops Trayvon’s last words: ‘Okay, you got it’

Totally agree. Trayvon was not the worst kid around by a long chalk (even with the additional info coming out), and George was not some wannabe gunslinging cop, but a guy looking out for his neighborhood and all the people in it.

To paraphrase Speaker Gingrich - “Color doesn’t matter. None of our children should live in fear.”

Like I said, 17 year olds are not exactly known for being rational in their responses, they are all hormones and a total belief in their own immortality.
I admire Zimmerman for not shooting for as long as he did. I’d not have waited that long with someone younger, faster and bigger sitting on me and banging my head on the sidewalk.

When we started the Neighborhood watch scheme here, we decided to go none confrontational. You see a person, you don’t follow silently, you chat with them. Walk fast, catch up to them and talk. It is a slightly increased risk for us, yes, but it defuses most situations before they start.

Peace to you!

That sounds like a good policy. Take care.

It makes tactical sense to carry a knife for just such a scenario. Becoming skilled in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is probably a good idea, also.

Also, not living where thugs walk through your neighborhood.

It’s what you should do if your neighborhood is invaded.

I am sooooo glad I left the city. For both this and the hoped-for presidential election results.

If you think about it, 9mm has killed more human beings than any other pistol caliber.

Think MP 38/40.

Angela Corey...

I hope this travesty destroys the career of this piece of excrement.

I carry a KelTec Model P11 on a daily basis. I trust my life and my family’s safety to it.

Any gun is only as good as the owner as far as shooting ability and good maintenance practices.

BTW, the KelTec P11 is VERY popular with law enforcement as back-up and off-duty carry weapons.

I love my Glock- Peace through strength.

[2111USMC]

Is that the standard paint on the rear sight or did you enhance it a bit?

[nixonsnose]

You can buy them online. They are called backplates. It took about 1 minute to change it (with a ball point pen). I got my wife a ‘Come and Take it” with a tiny cannon on it and I got my brother a custom one with the logo for his rock band. They are about $20 each.

"If his head was split, you must acquit!"

You know, you might be on to something..

[2111USMC]

The rear sights on my KT and CZ are dots. That one looks like you could acquire sight picture much faster.

Zimmerman should have shot him in the leg

Is that what they teach you when you take your concealed carry course???

[nixonsnose]

You mean the sight paint. This is a tactical 9 Model 34. I’m really not that fancy- all the rest of our guns are standard issue. It has all kinds of extras. Adjustable sights, bright sights, a proud clip release, elongated barrel and a picatiny rail.

I stopped to look at a 9 mil pistol in Dec 08. The gun shop was loaded on a wednesday afternoon. I had to wait in line to look at a pistol. When I got my turn, I asked to see all the glock 9 mils. He said I only have one left. It was this one.

As I was filling out the paperwork, I asked how long they had been this busy- he said “ever since election day”.
