Yes, and I think that would be a mistake. The facts of this case are by no means as clear cut as some of the posters on the FR claim. My suspicion is that there will at least be an indictment. He might plead to something less, like a gun charge of some kind. You can’t carry a gun openly in Florida. The obvious question is how Martin knew to go for the gun, if it was concealed, which is apparently Zimmerman’s story. That’s just a misdemeanor, though. My suspicion is that they’ll want something more than that.
He wasn't carrying openly he was carrying concealed and he had a CCL.

According to George's brother Robert Martin didn't see it until he was on top of George on the ground bashing his head into the sidewalk. That is the only testimony published about how Martin saw the gun. It fits with eyewitness and recorded testimony in 911 calls that George was on bottom screaming for help before a gunshot was fired.
