re: #551 funky chicken
I took an NRA class after I bought my first pistol a few years ago. It was called “handgun ownership 101” or something. One thing the instructor repeated over and over was that you never brandish a weapon unless you intend on discharging it. Period.
Zimmerman is an adult who stalked a kid in his car and then got out of the car with a weapon in his hand. End of story.
When my dad taught me to shoot, the basic rule was, you don’t point the gun at anything you don’t plan to shoot.
