KissMy, youre missing the point.
If youre confronted by an armed man, and prior or during a struggle you become aware that your opponent is packing, YOUR perception of being in mortal danger provides you with legal right (if you can), to take control of that gun or kill your opponent while attempting to do so.
An unarmed person has much less (than an armed persons opportunity) to escape to safety.
Possession of gun has extremely serious responsibilities attached to that privilege.
If Zimmerman initiated the confrontation, he has lost all legal protection until he's able to withdraw from the conflict.
Under such circumstances Zimmerman's injury or death would have been due to his own recklessness and similarly he's now charged with murder due to his own recklessness.
Respectfully, Supposn
