I wasn't defending him, I'm just legitimately curious about what you're taught to do when you recieve a firearm. This instance would be different than what I was talking about, since he followed the kid against police instruction ... and now that I "type that out loud" so to speak, man does Zimmerman look bad lol; what I'm asking is, I've heard that they tell you to go for a kill shot as opposed to simply trying to injure a home intruder, and I was wondering if there's any truth to that.
