It was against the rules and you would be removed from my group if you were caught carrying. This case is a prime example why I had the rule. It presents a question that has to be answered. Would Zimmerman have approached Martin if he was NOT armed ? I think we all know the answer. So in being armed, he felt a sense of securtiy that allowed him to take his job to another level. By not carrying you react more conservatively and revert to doing your job; record and report.
On another note: The day that Sharpton, Jackson and any other person or group, that enjoys pulling the race card, gives this much hype about a black kid killing another black kid, I will give them some respect. Until then, they are worse than Zimmerman in my opinion. They have done nothing since the day they were born to bring an end to racism. Nothing.

Chris Tutko, the director of Neighborhood Watch for the National Sheriffs' Association said that Zimmerman broke a cardinal rule by carrying a gun and that there was no need to carry a gun.
However, even though Police departments and sheriff's offices advise trained volunteers never to carry weapons, Zimmerman didn't break the law by carrying a gun. He had a concealed weapons permit.
We will have to see how that plays out in court.
