You have no idea what the law even says. Go read it.

But how could rain get to it, if Zimmerman was wearing a red jackett, tuck deep inside his holster?

Im glad you are using the pronoun "He"...that way you can pull all kinds of "crimes" out your *** you like.

"He" can be guilty of all sorts of immagined crimes without proof.

GZ never said that Trayvon physically grabbed his gun, he said that Trayvon grabbed for his gun and that's when GZ pulled it and shot him.

Okay, but....

I guess Trayvon just picked the wrong person to stand his ground on. That is why we all should put our attitudes in check, and take the high road and just walk away. Personally both of them made some serious life changing mistakes.
I generally have a couple of different "things" to protect my life on me at any given time, but choose to only use them in an absolute last chance defense. My first choice is to just walk away if possible.
