I almost always wear the holster under my belt but outside my pants. I only own one pair of pants large enough to carry inside the pants. I noticed a couple of comments about .45 ACP recoil. I've owned a Colt .45 for over 25 years and I've never considered the recoil to be the least bit difficult to manage. Even when rapid firing. Now with the lightweight 3" barrel model I have now there is considerable muzzle rise. But the recoil itself is not the least bit tough on the hands.
Gee, could the media be trying to stir the pot with this story? No, not them. They have no agenda, right? http://news.yahoo.com/twenty-years-los-angeles-riot-flashpoint-grim-tableau-173907093.html
??? Today during his bail hearing, George Zimmerman issued an unwanted apology to Trayvon Martin's parents. Zimmerman said: "I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit younger than I am, and I did not know if he was armed or not." Zimmerman is essentially trying to elicit sympathy from the judge, potential jurors, the public and Martin's parents. Also, his lawyer is attempting to humanize him. If Zimmerman actually thought the 17-year-old Martin was an adult, then perhaps he had a reason to fear him. But, is Zimmerman telling the truth? Zimmerman is 28. Today he said he thought Martin was just a bit younger than he. But during a 911 call made moments before Martin's death, Zimmerman said he believed that Martin was in his late-teens. Thus, Zimmerman was pretty accurate about Martin's age. The audio tape of the 911 call appears below this post. http://dissentingjustice.blogspot.c...--------------------------------------------- "The woman said she offered to drop the papers off the following day, but Zimmerman became upset, took her cellphone and shoved her. A fight ensued, she said, and her dog bit Zimmerman's cheek. Zimmerman filed his own petition the day after his ex-fiancée's, in which he claimed that she had been the aggressor in the fight." snip "He said she caused the wounds to his face that she blamed on her dog." http://articles.orlandosentinel.com...ce-20120321_1_petitions-documents-injunctions -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't see that age has much to do with it, so not sure why Zimmerman brought it up. Martin was big/strong enough to beat him up. That about says it all. I still don't get the part about being jumped by Martin though. If you follow someone because you suspect he is a criminal, do you walk up to him (the alleged verbal exchange overheard on Martin's cellphone) and then afterward turn your back to him? Once you see that he has seen you, why would you let him out of your sight?
Well, the description of events that I posted doesn't have him turning his back on him. It has Martin hiding around a corner waiting for him. If that is correct, then Zimmerman was probably a bit startled to come around the corner and find Martin there. He reached for his phone and got hit in the face. IMO, this really does sound like a situation where a guy was trying to keep track of someone until police got there. He didn't expect that Trayvon would be hiding around the corner. The situation just escalated from there.
Story change again. "In September 2003, Zimmerman called police and reported that another motorist spat on him, according to reports, Zimmerman followed the man in his car until the police arrived. Daniel Osmun, the other driver, told police that Zimmerman was tailgating and that he spit his gum out the window "out of frustration." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/30/trayvon-martin-case-george-zimmerman_n_1392591.html
