the range at which no sight adjustments(up or down) are necessary to achieve a shot on target. this varies based on caliber/cartridge/load used.....
I *might* agree with shootin 4 fun if they'd just been in a fist fight and Zimmerman shot Martin. But bashing someones head into the concrete repeatedly isn't "dealing out an a$$whipping" that's trying to kill the guy.
I think GZ didn't make the wisest decisions, but I also think that in the end it was defense of life or limb.

Based on powder residue and the gun's trajectory, however, Di Maio said the gun was 2 to 4 inches from Martin's body, touching his shirt. Since Martin's shirt was away from his body, this also suggests that Martin was on top of Zimmerman, leaning over him, Di Maio said.
Evidence is the gun was in contact with Martin's clothing at the time it discharged, the clothing was apparently hanging from 2-4" from the body.
They can tell the muzzle was in contact with the fabric when it discharged because muzzle blast damaged the fabric surrounding the entry hole.
Point blank is an interesting term, I won't spoil the surprise but I'd suggest looking it up. It doesn't mean what most people think it does.

No Martin cost himself his own life. He started a fight with an armed man who ended up shooting him. Zimmerman wasn't stalking Martin by the sense of the word from a law enforcement perspective. He was following him maybe even profiling him to a certain sense assuming he was up to no good (which he likely was). Martin apparently didn't like being followed (hard to comit crimes and get away with it if people are watching you) and decided he was a tough guy and it cost him his life.
No Zimmerman wasn't a cop and probable should not have followed Martin, but obviously felt a sense of civic duty and did so. Had Zimmerman started the fight and then shot Martin he would be to blame, but he acted in self defense!
For this to be Oklahoma and a gun sight there are some real idiots posting on here!!
Can you say for sure that Martin wasn't going to beat Zimmerman to death? If I were in that position I wouldn't take the chance hoping I was only getting an ass kicking and not murdered. You theory is a little flawed!
My point exactly, when Mr. Fun made his speculative comment of "how do we know he wasn't standing over Z when he shot him."
It's evidence that was proven in court by the facts. Speculation has no part in this discussion other than to show others you didn't follow the trial, and are merely attempting to muddy the waters without a true understanding of the facts.
Glad Dennis is keeping up with the facts,seems some just run on wild thoughts.
Thats thug attitude for you.
