at close range. If the bullet did not do that, then you are talking something else than an in your face shot, changing the picture for Zimmerman even further.

Why officers are trained to check for follow through before squeezing the trigger. Also why some departments now issue 40 calls and those who still issue 9mm have no issue with officers qualifying to carry their own higher calliber.
