Or to possibly avoid a deadly confrontation you announce that you have a gun and or point the gun at the victim at which point you still feel your life is in danger you use deadly force (at least that's how it should've went down in this case). Dude just wanted to kill someone plain and simple, nothing more nothing less, he was playing "cop" and found the first excuse he could to off another human being.

No way should he have announced he had a gun just to give Treyvon a chance to get it from him. In no case should he have pointed a loaded gun at somebody as a warning. Godforbid the gun accidentally go off,while just flashing it as a warning. Again that's just gun handling 101. And that last part is your pure conjecture, you've convicted this guy long before all the evidence has been provided to you. |

You're asking for that Dick Tracy watch - where you can push a button and "hold everything" and take awhile to sort things out; and then resume from there. It hasn't been invented yet. I'm certainly not going to wait to feel a gun shot wound & see my blood pouring out... before taking measures to save my - or my wifes- own life from an attack. Arm-chair-quarterbacking, weeks after the game is played, is silliness. |

He's never been trained on the proper use of a carry weapon. I guess his reasoning on how to use a gun for self defense comes from his own musings and from the movies. Don't even THINK about following this advice. |

How does a 70# dog take down a 250# man? It is not the size of the dog; it is the size of the bite, or the viciousness of the attack. Caught off guard, most untrained people do not react fast enough to prevent, let alone stop an attack, and are always behind the curve. Those that are trained often have embarrassing moments at social occasions. You are also not taking into account how vulnerable to injury the back of the head is. One rock in the wrong place could have left him a paraplegic in another place dead. The simple acronym for use of force is AOJ. The suspect has to have the Ability to put the victim at risk. The suspect has to have the Opportunity to injure the victim. The suspect has to put the victim in Jeopardy. If an LEO had happened on the scene and seen someone bashing someone’s head into the ground, they would have been justified in using force to prevent or stop the attack. If they thought the attack could end in death or serious injury, lethal force may be used. The facts of the case may not be fully known, but the above facts on use of force, though simplified, are. |

Have you even read any of the ACTUAL reports on the incident or are you just following the lead of Jackson and Sharpton? The 911 tapes reports said Zimmerman followed Martin briefly to see where he was going. The 911 operator, (not a police office, a 911 operator advised him to not follow). While returning to his truck he was attacked by Martin. If I have a gun and am attacked, I'm not going to try to see if I can out fight the guy, the gun is coming out and it will be used to kill. |

Ah.
The old "Show them the handle" school of self defense. If that actually worked we could all just carry wooden handles. |

With all due respect, you have zero idea what you are talking about. You NEVER draw a weapon unless your life is in immenent danger. And if your life is in danger, you pull the gun and shoot to kill. If the gun comes out, someone is getting shot. Those of us who are properly trained know this. We are also trained to avoid situations where this scenario is likely. However, if it happens, it is better to be judged by 12 than to be buried by 6. |
