DeLAND, Fla. - A Volusia County gun shop has offered a free gun to George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch leader acquitted in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
In a letter to Zimmerman's attorney, former Local 6 legal analyst Mark O'Mara, Pompano Pats in DeLand said it's offering a free firearm to Zimmerman after hearing media reports that he could not obtain his Kel-Tec PF-9 from authorities.
"Upon receiving your confirmation that he is well within his legal rights to concealed carry, our company would like to offer Mr. Zimmerman a free firearm. We currently have the same model in stock, or he could (choose) another weapon suitable for concealed carry," the letter states.
It also says, "We have read numerous reports of death threats against your client and believe no good would come from harming him."
The letter, which also says the company is not trying to make a political statement, was signed by Pompano Parts President Pat Johnson.
After Saturday's not guilty verdict was read, rallies, marches and demonstrations in support of Martin have been held across the county and many more are scheduled this weekend.
I don’t know if it has a bearing on the firearm George would prefer but I noticed in videos from the trial that George was writing notes in a pad left-handed. So I presume he is left-handed.
Maybe GZ had a 9mm Kel-Tec because that was his sidearm of choice.
Let him decide what he wants to shoot, not what you think he should...
I think if a gun shop were offering me whatever I wanted, a taurus snubby would be my last choice. He should probably get a Glock 30.
That’s nice of them!
****** As much as I hate to say it, that poor guy probably won’t be able to clear NICS for nearly a decade.... ****
If he has a valid CC Permit he wouldn’t have to go through NICS check, would he?
To bad he couldn’t get something crew served.
With a crew.
He’s was armed with an FN Herstal five seven when he turned himself in:

What’s wrong with Kel-Tek, was looking at them the other day.
Either limp-wristed or the slide may have contacted him enough to prevent ejection. Then, there is the age-old just plain malfunction... Only the last really matters - a weapon that jams, even once, cannot be trusted to protect you and yours.
That’s a sweet deal you found. A good gun with ammo too. I like it. :)
