Zimmerman demonstrated why we have "don't try this at home" disclaimers. Because of ignorant laws he was permitted to act as though he was a trained law officer, without the training.

He carried with him the ability to use deadly force, yet lacked the training and experience of how to use it. He approached Trayvon Martin with all of the power, but without the wisdom of how to use it properly.

Would he have aggressively tailed and approached Trayvon if he was was not carrying his sidearm?
