(CNN) -- A recent search of the home of George Zimmerman's girlfriend uncovered five weapons, including an AR-15, and more than 100 rounds of ammunition, court documents filed Monday show.

Zimmerman, acquitted in the death of Trayvon Martin this year, was arrested last week at the home, which he shares with his girlfriend, on suspicion of his having pointed a shotgun at her.

He was released on bail and has entered a plea of not guilty.

A search of the home turned up three handguns, a 12-gauge shotgun, a rifle and 106 rounds of ammunition, including two AR-15 magazines, according to a search warrant.

Three 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 were also recovered during the search.

At the time of his arrest, Zimmerman had two cell phones. An affidavit, filed Monday, says he told authorities he recorded the altercation with his girlfriend on his cell phone.

The feds,FL and the msm tried to unfairly put this guy in prison for life. The new black pampers put out a contract on him with DOJ approval.

Apparently the previous case with his wife was unfounded as well this one might. He said she said.

WTF? Casey Anthony unfairly attacked? By who? The bitch murdered her daughter and walked. Oh wait, it was the nonexistant baby sitter that was dating OJ wasn't it? There was a contract from Mothers Across America on her life? Give me a break.

The MSM thinks 106 rounds of ammo is excessive and unnecessary.

I’ll go thru a couple of hundred rounds at a day at the pistol range.

Some seem to forget that the persecution of GZ isn't about GZ. He is only a
means to an end for the Progressives and that end is a much bigger agenda.

Very true. Yet he is the one living through the hell of it all. I get your point though.

what? that was just the Go Bag, right?

No Way!

A Go Bag with less than 1000 rounds is totally inadequate.

Zimmerman is a hobbyist at best with a collection like that.

106 rounds isn’t even a hour at the range. The guy needs to make a sizable order at Cheaper than Dirt or some discount place and stock up.

This is very disturbing. Was the pack of gum registered?

This is an absolutely inadequate loadout.

In the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Search in George Zimmerman case turns up weapons, ammunition, 2ndDivisionVet wrote:
The problem has been the focus on irrelevant arguments – some of which are actually unsupported by the evidence.

1. ‘George Zimmerman (GZ) racially profiled Trayvon Martin (TM)’ There is no evidence of this.

2. ‘GZ disobeyed an order by the police’ * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.

3. ‘GZ got out of his car’ Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.

4. ‘GZ followed TM’ Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the RS only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.

A correction.
In most of these arguments an important fact is missing. This was a mixed race modest income “gated” community. It’s like entering an army base. Access to it is on private ground and that includes streets,trails, and walks . Those working security can legally stop and question anyone they see wandering about.

Now where there are neighborhood watch areas which are “ungated” in city neighborhoods which are public access streets,trails, and walks. Those working security still can leave their vehicle while doing surveilance but do not have the legal authority to detain or question the person under surveilance.

In this case the person working security could have done so but didn’t. He reported the activity to the police and was returing to his vehicle when he was attacked. In short he was doing his job.

Aha, a religious pendant and masticatory stimulators.

Not bad for a bug out bag but no fire starters?
No jerky?

GZ should just be scheduled weekly on a court docket...just so his slot is secured and ready.

Note too, that the caliber is never specified but it is implied that the ammo is 5.56mm for the AR15. One of the 5 handguns could have been a 22LR and the ammo just two measly boxes of 22LR. Also, even if it was 100rds + of 5.56mm, that's just about half the basic load for an infantryman to even think about staying alive in a firefight. He didn't even have the full complement of magazines to accommodate the ammo without refilling one. Assuming it was a 30 rd magazine. When I was on active duty all of our issued mags were 20rds. We kept six fully loaded in our pouches and the rest in the rucksack for reloads as required. Doesn't sound like he was ready to go postal.
