Why was Zimmerman carrying a firearm? When did he chamber the round which killed Martin? Was it a common practice that he carried the round chambered (as most police officers do)?
Zimmerman had a concealed weapons permit...he was on neighborhood watch because of so many break-in's in the area. And from what i've heard about that town, i wouldn't walk around with my gun unloaded either! What good would an empty gun have done him if when he came up on someone acting suspicious, he wouldn't know if that person had a gun also. I wouldn't want to have to take the time to load my gun if the other person ended up aiming their gun at me first! And Zimmerman didn't know if Martin was carrying a gun or not......
