93. The air marshal who trained him

trained him poorly. Any firearms instructor from the great Massad Ayoob to the guy who trains the local PD and does CCW courses on the side will tell you, Zimmerman was fucking stupid for the reason given. BTW, I wonder if the gun shop would sell ammo to Ayoob, given his Arabic name and heritage. The instructors I talk to use Zimmerman as a "lessons learned" of the importance of going out of your way of avoiding the chance of conflict.

Whoever taught Mr. Williams, the guy who defended himself from a some drunk racist assholes, was taught very well and did everything right. Read the link. He was cornered in a Waffle House, nothing he could do.

O'Donnell and Bashier are Bill O'Reilly clones on MSNBC. Bashier was fired over the "somebody should shit in her mouth" bit. Think of them as Bill O'Reilly and some other Fox guy becoming progressives and still being arrogant assholes

The gun shop was part of the conversion, which lead to a larger conversation about principle, consistency, and religious bigotry. That is where the Mormonism comes in.
