Underestimating a potential threat because of age could be a disaster.

Very accurate statement! I witness this all the time, saw it again a few minutes ago. If I had to guess, the young man wasn't out of his teens. About 6'2 but not "buff" by most standards, putting up 300 on incline bench like it was nothing, I can't do that.

Yep my favorite move is the lock and radio! Lock the door and make a call!

Michael Savage seems to think that if you carry a gun with a round chambered and the "safety off," well, you get the picture....

I think it's all about comfort level. If carrying a firearm with a round chambered freaks you out by all means leave the chamber empty. It'd be wise to train for that though and it will take a lot of muscle memory to be fast enough to defeat a threat with that extra step. I don't subscribe to that philosophy but that's just me.

I don't even know where to start with all the fail in this idiot's opinion piece...[facepalm]

My Keltec must be a mankiller for sure....it doesn't even HAVE an external safety. Much like a revolver, the safety is a function of not pulling the damn trigger unless one intends to shoot something...

I agree if you don't want to carry your CCW with a round in the chamber is your choice, but remember, in a gunfight...time is money. I prefer to keep it simple and keep economy of movement in a "SHTF" situation. If I have to rack the slide when I draw my CCW, that could've been the half of a second that cost me my ass. Again, your call...but as for me, I carry with one happy hollow-headed friend in the tube and train accordingly.

You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. If he wouldn't have had a round in the chamber, and had to rack the slide, they'd have accused him of having enough time to escape, or had an opportunity to use less than lethal force.

"Mr. Zimmerman, so you mean to tell me, that little Trayvon Martin gave you enough of an opportunity to remove your weapon, chamber a round, and fire a shot, and you took the time to do that instead of escaping?".

As far as the prosecution is concerned, nothing you do is correct, they will dissect everything you say, and turn it around on you.

Tell me sir, Do you still beat your wife ?


Today trademarks "mom" takes the stand. All the "EXPERTS" agree you are unable to clearly identify whose voice is whose. YET mom is going to say, very emotionally we all know, it is trademarks voice.

Having only the basic of armchair lawyering degrees i would ask. Even though Mom was not an actual witness, does this open the doors for the defense? All the "inadmissable evidence" regarding trademarks life, interaction with the law etc, should now be allowed.

Of course in reality the whole circus has been and will be fixed regarding the outcome. No matter what this jury's verdict, someone some where will push for retrial, IF he is found innocent. If guilty the appeals process will go one forever.

Perhaps one thing we might all agree on is the "public's" reaction within the "african - american" neighborhoods. [Fire]
