Any firearm instructor will tell you that a double tap is a time honored method that develops accuracy and ensures your target is down.

George Zimmerman's instructor didn't tell him that. One shot was all that was needed to save his life.

And the law says force necessary to neutralize the threat -- not to "ensure that the target is down". If that was her intent then that is murder.

A Houston Shell station is not Bagdad.

George Zimmerman's instructor didn't tell him that.

I'll bet GZ's instructor also didn't tell him to get in a wrestling match before opening up.

And the law says force necessary to neutralize the threat -- not to "ensure that the target is down".

In the heat of the moment, there is no difference. If a single tap was justified, then a double tap was also.

Except that's not what the law says.
