George Zimmerman’s Guns

CNN reports that according to documents filed Monday in the recent domestic violence case, a search of the home that George Zimmerman shared with his girlfriend uncovered 5 weapons;

3 handguns

a 12-gauge shotgun

an AR-15 rifle.

Also uncovered where 106 rounds of ammunition and two AR-15 magazines; handgun holsters, a pack of gum,  a religious pendant, a flashlight, a pocket knife, sanitizing wipe, a soft-sided gun case and a combination lock.

Zimmerman’s public defender has filed papers with the court requesting that Zimmerman’s cell phone, knife, and small flashlight be returned to him.  Also, in an affidavit filed Monday, Zimmerman alleges that he recorded the altercation with his girlfriend on his cell phone.

george-with-knife-color-smirking1Funny thing.  In the altercation that George had with his estranged wife Shellie in September 2013, he did not record the altercation with his cell phone but rather, destroyed the iPad that Shellie said she used to record the altercation.  The recording was unable to be recovered due to the main board being bent by George, and his taking it apart with his pocket knife that severed some wires.

  2. GZ needs guns to feel like a real man but he is not a real man. He is a narrcistic monster who terrorized women and children and murdered one in cold blood and was aided and abetted by law enforcement, the prosecution and his so called friends and family!

    Please forgive me, but this man infuriates me! When I seee him, I have to turn the channel or change the screen on the computer! I absolutely loathe and hate him with a passion! I continue to hear the screams of Trayvon Martin crying for his Mom and this SOB shot him straight through the heart! He shot TM with impunity and just walked away from that. He is a miserable SOB! I know this one thing: You live by the sword, you did by the sword, and one day, he will get his deserved punishment by the very same sword that he holds so dear!

    • Hi Deborah. Reading your comment, I was reminded of something Nancy Grace said tonight in response to Frank Taaffe’s mantra that George was acquitted. She said, (my paraphrase), “Yeah. But we know he’s killed.”

      That is the character that George and his wasp nest of supporters forget. By his own words, he took time to aim and made sure his other hand was out of the way. George Zimmerman calculated where he was going to fire that hollow point bullet. IF it was indeed self-defense, George could have shot Trayvon in the shoulder and allowed the judicial system to determine truth and facts. But no. He deliberately killed Trayvon so the truth and facts were silenced with him.

      George Zimmerman has killed. He has no remorse and believes it was God’s plan. And America is suppose to forget this? No way.

Fogen’s own words were that he took the time to make sure that his other hand was out of the way, and he aimed and fired directly at the heart of a 17 year old who was beggging for mercy and crying for his Momma! This man cooly and coldly murdered this kid. No, he did not aim for the leg, or the arm, he aimed at the heart which shatters the heart chambers and fills up the lungs with blood. He suffered and lingered and he eventually succombed to the tragic effects of that shooting.

        Fogen and Frank Taafee are two peas in a pod! Evil, ruthless, and racist! Taafee and Fogen do not care about anyone but themselves!Taafee’s own children despise him and they have nothing to do with him.

    For weeks I’ve been investigating George’s run ins with the law. My findings kept expanding, causing the posting of my stories to be delayed. (I thank you for your patience.) As early as tomorrow, I will post one of my two recent investigations here and on Radaronline.com.

    In, “Crimes Of The Heart,” you will learn how George’s cell phones contain evidence pertinent to the case involving Samantha Scheibe. They also contain disturbing insight to his mental health and to his overall credibility as a defendant. In my second investigation, “The Walking Man,” you’ll learn how and when law enforcement officers and agencies ignored evidence and even covered for George. Why would they do it? You can decide after seeing interactions between cops and George caught on tape.

    Jayne Weintraub has her work cut out for her. But she is known and respected as a sharp lawyer who, according to my sources, was recommended by her friend and former Zimmerman attorney, Mark O’Mara. She doesn’t come cheap. My sources say George will pay her fees in ways that include the anticipation of a book and a movie deal. Also in ways that involve the colossal 2.5 million dollar debt George declared last week.

  8. I think I will have to disagree about the credit check Xena. I worked as a Sr Credit Investigator for about 25 years, and there so many different circumstances that can affect a persons credit than just not paying their bills. I do agree that is the number one reason, there are circumstances that occur in ones life that aren’t taken into consideration of why a credit report looks poor.

    Believe me, I have heard it all. This one I’ll never forget. I worked at a bank at the time, and it was shortly after 911. I recieved a call from a man who wanted to pay his brothers mastercard bill. He said that his brother worked in one of the towers, and there was a good chance he did not make it out. You could hear the pain in his voice as he talked about it, but he called because he wanted to make sure his payment was not late, just in case by some miracle he happened to survive. I noted the account, and told him not to worry about it, I placed the account on hold.

    Like

    • Dreamer, what a sweet story about the brother and 9/11.

      You are correct that there are many factors that effect credit, but we’re talking about purchasing a gun. Let me give an example in effort to be more clear.

      A man has a judgment against him for child support. He has not worked for 6 mths. He is delinquent in paying his debts, and the judgment is on his credit report. So he decides to eliminate the child support issue by killing the mother.

      Another one: a woman used her credit card for cash and gave it to her boyfriend who promised to pay. He took the cash, broke-up with her, and used the money to entertain another woman. When the creditor serves her summons of filing suit to collect, she forsakes paying her rent to buy a gun, hunts the man down, and kills him.

      So I suppose the issue in including a credit check with a background check, would be to ask, is there anything in either that indicates the person will use the gun to commit a crime?

      • Okay Big Sister, You know I loved those problem solving questions in school, like if Mr jones has 15 peaches, and Martha took 10 bake in her pie, but only used 8, how many peaches are left? Ha, Ha. I had to put on my thinking cap, actually I thought about your examples while I soaked in the tub.

        My first concern would be a background check to see if they had been convicted of a felony. If yes, no need to go any further. Using your examples, we can then assume neither have prior convictions. Other than that im not sure other than possably employment history, what a background check shows. But lets assume they are now free to purchase a gun. Now moving on to the employment history. He lost his job six months ago, and what we don’t know is why. Maybe he was married, but she like to party and likes other men as well, and she was not home in the morning to watch the girls, therefore was late for work one to many times, and fired. Now they went their ways, he is unable to find a job do to the economy, his bills and child support are past due.

        He moves in with his parents, they are ill, and he gets the girls on every other weekend. There have been a couple of child molesters in the neighborhood who are wanted for attacking little girls. Due to his credit, he is cannot purchase a gun, and one night they break in, they tie him and his parents up, and you know the rest of the story.

        So, what we have is based upon the cedit report, because the background check is clear. Should a person be denied a gun based upon the circummstances that don’t reflect why a poor credit history is shown. If it stopped the murder of his ex wife, great, but what if he was not able to protect his children or parents. And the big question is, with such evil intent, what stops them from buying a gun on the street corner, or using another means to murder?

          That requires another question. Would a reasonable person forsake paying their current debts to purchase a gun? Let’s apply that to George Zimmerman. He was unable to pay his debts, but able to afford ammunition and go to the shooting range. His reason for getting a gun was to protect his wife from a dog that, although off leash, had not attacked anyone. (As an after thought, Zimmerman profiled the dog based on its breed.)

    • @Rachael. Regarding O’Mara, can we say “hypocrite”?

      It’s already established that ISPs suspend the internet service of account holders for harassment. Thus, if there are children in the household using the internet to cyber-bully, the consequences are upon the parents.

      What is needed is for social media, such as Facebook, to take cyber-bullying seriously. The same is true for any online source that allows comments.

      To prevent adults who behave like children from accessing sites where they have been suspended, social media should arrange with IP registers to obtain proxy IP addresses and block each and every one from accessing social media sites.

      I’m with you about O’Mara. He cyber-bullied Trayvon’s family and friends when using the internet to disparage Trayvon, who cannot speak for himself.

Just taking prescription drugs of the type you mention would require voluntary disclosure. It would also require that LE have a list of drugs that meet the criteria to disqualify for gun ownership.

        • @mindyme62,

          People are under the assumption that once you file bankruptcy you will not be able to get credit. Creditors are more than willing to to extend credit to people who have filed bk, as they cannot file for another 7 years. You can even purchase a home after 2 years. The only downfall is that you will probably be charged a higher interest rate for awhile. Some people also assume if you file chapter 13 bankruptcy where the creditors are paid back at a agreed upon lower payment, that creditors will be more apt to extend credit to you. They really don’t care, in fact, until you pay off your creditors, which is normally 3 to 5 years under chapter 13, your credit will continue to show a past due or slow history, where as under chapter 7, your done, and the only thing that shows is “included in chapter 7 bankrupcy.” Bankruptcy will stay on your credit file 7 years fron the date it is discharged.

          Fyi, all credit remains on your credit report for 7 years of the last payment made. The biggest mistake people make is after a couple of years of not paying on an account, they get the urge to try and repair their credit, and stop paying again. So lets say you haven’t paid on your visa account for 5 years and decide to pay, and for some reason you find you can’t pay for whatever reason. Regardless of your balance, had you not made a payment, in 2 years it would no longer show on your credit report, but once you make a payment, you now have to wait another 7 years from that payment to come off. That means another 7 years your credit will be marked.

          And that concludes Credit 101 this evening. LOL

      • shannoninmiami, I’m not sure if this will totally answer your question or not, but this seems to apply.

        “4. The federal gun ban includes some people who are only under indictment! Anyone who is “under indictment for a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year” is not allowed “to ship or transport . . . any firearm or ammunition or receive any such firearm or ammunition.” 18 U.S.C. § 922(n).

        The meaning of this statute is a bit unclear. At the very least, it bars anyone under indictment from “receiving,” or acquiring, a gun that they did not own before being indicted. But what about guns that someone owned before they were indicted? Are they required to get rid of them after the indictment is handed down?

        The express terms of the statute mention only shipping, transporting, and receiving a gun, not possessing one. In comparison, the federal statute that applies the gun ban to convicted felons and to those with misdemeanor domestic violence convictions expressly bans possession, as well as shipping, transporting, and receiving. You can make a strong argument based on the wording of the statute that someone under indictment is allowed to possess a gun he owned before being indicted, even if he is not allowed to ship, transport, or receive it.

        But when does possession become transporting? And when does it become shipping? In my opinion, the issues are too murky, and the stakes are too high. The safer and better practice is probably to advise all clients under indictment to get rid of their guns and not to have anything to do with any guns while the indictment is pending.”

The same applies to convictions for communicating threats, when the client threatens to use a deadly weapon against one of the victims named above. The client can never again possess a gun; if he does, he can be prosecuted in federal court and receive up to ten years in federal prison.”

    No Gun Shop Owner in their right mind would take the chance to sell him a gun and violate their license. Like Crazy said, his bond restrictions do the same thing as suspending his Concealed License. Shellie was never told to keep away from guns, Z had. But anytime a person is charged with a felony in the state, it requires the charging agency to notify the state of the charge and then the state sends a letter notifying the holder of the suspension.

There was discussion about what he paid and it turned out it was not payment in full.

But I can guarantee he paid the State or they would have never issued the license. The FDLE interviewed the instructor of the course and his statement is on page 86 of the 283 document dump but basically he said he teaches a lot of courses and doesn’t remember Z.

        The process of getting a CCL requires:
        7. Completion of any firearms training or safety course or class conducted by a state-certified or National Rifle Association certified firearms instructor;

        A photocopy of a certificate of completion of any of the courses or classes; or an affidavit from the instructor, school, club, organization, or group that conducted or taught said course or class attesting to the completion of the course or class by the applicant; or a copy of any document which shows completion of the course or class or evidences participation in firearms competition shall constitute evidence of qualification under this paragraph; any person who conducts a course pursuant to subparagraph 2., subparagraph 3., or subparagraph 7., or who, as an instructor, attests to the completion of such courses, must maintain records certifying that he or she observed the student safely handle and discharge the firearm.

        The cost for these courses vary by the group/or person teaching it. You’ll find it as cheap as $45 and as much as $150. Once you teach the course, the instructor will issue a certificate of training in which the applicant sends to the State as proof of training. It also only requires a safety course…..so he could’ve taken a safe hunting course and it would’ve qualified as long as the person teaching it has the proper certifications—the instructor license number is required on all certificates to check. I got held up on mine because I sent in my Instructor certificate and it does not have a place for the instructor of the course to list their license #, unlike those who only go for a safety course. I called the State to ask why, after all I could teach the course to those who are seeking the CCL and, only after I called, they accepted my NRA Instructor card to process it.

        It is also up to the Instructor of the course if he wants to issue the certificate, if for some reason they feel like the person isn’t capable of shooting a gun safely they can withhold the certification. But even with the completion of a safety course they still have to pass the rest of the State’s restrictions and background checks.

    • towerflower, Now that you mention Shellie, correct me if I am wrong, can’t she have her CCL reinstated because she was not convicted of a felony? I don’t think that misdemeanor perjury is listed as a disqualifying offense is it? Now, then again we don’t know the conditions of her probation, so not having a gun could be part of that deal they worked out… Personally, I would have no problem with her having a gun to take care of the problem should George get out of line, hmmm, could we then change her name to karma???

            From what I see, once her probation is over she will be able to have her license reinstated. The only misdemeanor charge that prohibits you from getting one is a charge of domestic violence and then you can after 3 years have passed—any type of felony charge will prevent you from ever having one. Florida Statues 790.06 covers it all.

      I also wonder if there is still proof in the phones of his sending the text photo to the girlfriend’s daughter.

      Which is probably why he wants both phones back.

      Regarding Zimmerman’s contradiction, you can be sure that each time anything is posted about Zimmerman that might lead to a conviction, he works to circumvent it. Just think — when we (speaking of justice for Trayvon supporters) heard two voices in the background of Jenna’s 911 call, THEN O’Mara decided to motion to exclude expert testimony on the basis of it being “junk science.”

      When we understood about the gunshot holes not lining up with the entry wound, is when O’Mara came up with the can in the pocket story. Never mind that the shirt underneath had no pocket to have anything pull it down even with the hole in the hoodie.

      When we understood that rain does not discriminate to wash blood off Trayvon’s hands but not Zimmerman’s big head, is when O’Mara and West formulated their non-preservation of DNA defense.

      So now, we’ve indirectly told Zimmerman that if he sent a photo to a 10 year old that is intimidate or suggests sex, that he is open for a federal charge, he wants his phones back.

The man is crazy, in debt, does not have a job and cannot hold one, murdered a teenager and he has a whole lot of other baggage to numerous to list here but you know the deal. Why isn’t something being done about Fogen sending that photo of a sexual nature to a minor? What does this man have to do to get arrested and convicted? Does he have to kill a white person because they had no problem arresting him based on the word of this white woman. they don’t givve a damn about blacks or the life of a black kid.

          • Crazy1946, it’s a hard judgment. George is a manipulative liar, so probably convinced Sam (like his supporters are now trying to convince themselves), that the cousin was out to get him.

            Sam endured George until she got her clothes and furniture back. He held them for ransom.

            I have a friend that experienced something similar. She was dating a guy (not living together) and began feeling uncomfortable and wanted to breakup. He had “borrowed” her camera and she wanted it back before breaking the news. He had an excuse for why he forgot to return it. About a week later, she severed the relationship. However, he kept calling, wanting her to meet him. She continued to refuse and guess what he told her? “If you want your camera back, you better meet me tonight.”

            Her advantage was that she could afford to replace the camera and buy maybe 50 more. LOL!!

    Wow, you’ve been a busy bee! So many articles and great comments. I don’t know why but there’s been a huge sense of relief ever since GZ’s gun were taken away. Seriously.
    I’m not anti-NRA or anything like that but the facts we learned about him in the Trayvon Martin trial tell me, GZ should not own guns or have access to them. IMO, he got away with murder and hasn’t shown a bit of remorse. He’s a danger to society.
    Just by the fact that he can’t stay out of trouble since his acquittal proves it.
    And the nerve of O’Mara!! “Cyber Bullying???”

  24. “The search warrant says Zimmerman told deputies a different version of events. He said that Scheibe and he had agreed to separate and that he was planning to move to Texas. But as he gathered his belongings, Zimmerman said Scheibe became upset and threw a handgun and the shotgun on the floor.” from http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=21017243

    remember gz said nothing on his 911 call abt Sam throwing his guns anywhere. in fact he said his guns were locked up. i think he mentions that she’s throwing shit around and SHE broke a table-but says he doesn’t know what she broke it with! so he brings the broken table up but conveniently doesn’t know what she broke it with. so i ask why does he think she needed “something” to break it with? couldn’t she have broken by kicking it, or dropping it while moving?? doesn’t that sound just like his usual turn-it-around on the other guy excuse in the anticipation of being confronted about it? he’s on the phone already knowing what he’s gonna be explaining. it just makes me sick!

    oh and of course the ol, she threw a fit because she didn’t want me to leave lie, because i’m so desirable i’m the one who’s leaving her. his lies are too predictable, too common. he’s loosing his lying touch if you ask me.

    remember he was also listening to the beginning of her call so he knew what she had already said to the 911. so that’s what he countered in his statement. i wonder if we can tell by his statements of lies if he covered every accusation she made that he was able to over hear, and if she said other things out of his earshot that he didn’t know to cover in his story? you know what i mean? something the cops have on him that he didn’t realize…

      George is the one that throws fits and leaves damage behind.

      This is George’s standard pattern of behavior.

      I don’t know what the heated argument with his mother was about was about, but George’s ex-fiance said that George retaliated by turning off his mother’s electricity and locking the electric box.

      His ex-fiance said that George had become physically aggressive a month after they had separated when she refused to let him stay overnight at her apartment.

      We also know that George threatened Shellie and her father with a gun although she did not see it, just that he put his hand where it was as he said the threatening words.

      George left Shellie a threat in the form of a shot-up target on the wall (riddled with bullets)
