No I think he was carrying the gun for self defense. I don't think he had his gun drawn looking through the bushes. I think he was walking around looking for the 'suspicious dude in the hoodie', and lost him. Then he gave up, and found him when he got punched.

So yeah I am buying the story of the one guy who survived, but that story has so far held up to scrutiny.

There was no Zimmerman making an ass out of himself trying to apprehend the neighborhood skittles carrying kid. There was Zimmerman making an ass out of himself by taking it upon himself to "not lose" the kid/thug/suspicious guy in a hoodie.

As for Zimmerman suspending his right to self defense because he was over zealous in his pursuit of someone he himself declared as suspicious, I don't buy that line of reasoning.
