Three weeks after he was caught speeding in Texas, George Zimmerman was spotted in public again on Thursday. According to TMZ, Zimmerman visited the Florida headquarters of Kel-Tec, the gun manufacturer that made the PF-9 pistol Zimmerman used to kill Trayvon Martin, where he asked about purchasing a tactical shotgun.

Zimmerman reportedly received a tour of the headquarters from Kel-Tec's owner's son and took photos with Kel-Tec employees.

Zimmerman asked about the legality of purchasing a Kal-Tec KSG tactical shotgun, which can hold up to 12 rounds of 12-gauge shotgun shells. It's not clear if Zimmerman bought the $1,197 gun.

Our streets will be so safe!

But for real what god damn use could anyone ever have for a gun like that? Holy shit

 

[Valhelm]

Looks like he's not hiding out in Texas anymore.

 

[PantherLotus]

I believe we have our new Joe The Plumber. Was worried for a minute.

 

[botty]

What an interesting look on his face.

 

[BeerSnob]

I have always said, people who buy Kel-Tec, shouldn't be allowed to have guns.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

I thought they just left a gift basket of guns and ammo on his door every Sunday.

what's wrong with Kel-Tec guns? I don't have much knowledge on the subject. What makes them fit for the unfit?

 

[fleck0]

Wow, he must be going after something bigger than a kid this time.

 

[inm8num2]

LOL I can't imagine people shaking his hand and greeting him like a hero.

 

[Phire Phox]

Guess he's ready to kill someone else in "self-defense"

 

[Baraka in the White House]

Strictly for neighborhood watch purposes.

 

[El_Presidente]

This man makes my blood boil.... he just looks like hes so happy to take picture with "fans".... you killed a teenager douche bag. even if you think he was in the wrong, you're not a fucking celebrity

 

[jordan0386]

He's been lifting.

 

[The Technomancer]

Guess he's ready to kill someone else in "self-defense"

Uh, this is rather tasteless and horrible.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Why would you want to take a picture with this guy?

 

[akira28]

LOL I can't imagine people shaking his hand and greeting him like a hero.

commercialized gun culture is about more than 2nd amendment rights and self defense, unfortunately. You need to make sales, you need to push product, you need people to be excited, or afraid, afraid works, but if you can get them to root like they do for a football game...more the better. Guns are under siege, if you didn't know it, so people have to support guns and self defense and American rights, and gee doesn't that gun look fucking cool?

 

[The Technomancer]

Why would you want to take a picture with this guy?

There's a fair amount of people who view him as something of a positive figure for "standing up for gun rights and self defense"

They're cheap, plastic, tacticool pieces of rubbish. The only thing they've ever made that didn't look, feel and shoot like a dart gun was the new shotgun and from what I've read it's prone to jamming. Imagine if Yugo had tried to revitalize their business by adding spoilers and glass pipes to their cars, that's Kel-Tec. People who buy them generally do so because they want a scary looking, cheap, gun.

 

[gutter_trash]

what's the gun for Tony?

This? oh it's nothing. How d'you call it? Paranoia

 

[Parallax]

sadly, i can.

ah so they're the equivalent to a really powerful airsoft gun. an airsoft gun that could kill you, but cheap none the less.

from the image a few posts above they definitely look like they chose design and looks over form and usability.

 

[GK86]

I hope an elephant falls from the sky and lands on him.

 

[enzo_gt]

How safe of him!

 

[Novoitus]

The Kel-Tec SU-16C is a nice gun.

I would by a nice shotgun too if I had thousands giving me death threats.

 

[Savitar]

Guess he wants to make sure he doesn't get a few scratches next time.

 

[gutter_trash]

he's a hero

Well, I mean they still use real bullets, it's just that the chassis itself is "unstable" at best.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

For some reason this cracked me up quite a bit.

 

[Dead]

Read the name as George Zimmer and remembered that he was ousted from Men's Wherehouse. Thought this was connected...lol

 

[solomon]

If only.

 

[Arkos]

Edit: I'm gun shy lol

Hate this guys smile and that he does seem to be glorified by some people.

 

[inm8num2]

he's a hero

My brain still rejects the notion that he's a hero to people. I mean, I understand the sick reason of why, but it's still befuddling.

 

[inm8num2]

Looks like that "soft" look from the trial and no facial hair didn't last long, but they sure did serve their purpose!

 

[perfectchaos007]

gun manufacturers.

'murica

The other day while casually browsing the gun selection at my local Wal-Mart it suddenly dawned on me that maybe Wal-Marts in other parts of the world don't sell guns in their sporting department like Wal-Marts here do. I need to find out if the Wal-Mart's in say...England sell guns

 

[xxracerxx]

Looks like he is losing that court weight and getting ready for some do-gooding.

I mean seriously, look at this:

 

[Atlantis]

Forget Zimmerman, requesting information about the man on the left.

 

[Enron]

Looks like that "soft" look from the trial and no facial hair didn't last long, but they sure did serve their purpose!

what do you mean didn't last long, he still looks fat.

 

[kehs]

LOL I can't imagine people shaking his hand and greeting him like a hero.

They own a gun manufacturing plant.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Zim lookin' slim. (compared to trial GZ)

My friend has the theory that he is known as a fat guy, so he gained the weight for the trial so he'd look like his orange collared shirt picture commonly shown, and then when the trial is over, he'd lose the weight to help him be able to sneak by.

I thought he'd be hiding out in Peru for a few months with family.

He's neither the hero we need or deserve.

They don't

 

[childplease]

Wow, he must be going after something bigger than a kid this time.

Pretty cool gun but super expensive.

Keltec makes alot of expensive garbage though.

He should have bought that instead.

 

[Angelus Errare]

I guess he's trying not to leave evidence this time.

 

[BadAss2961]

That photo... It actually sickens me a bit to see this fucker looking happy.

 

[Kukuk]

I don't really see a problem here. Anyone want to explain the outrage?

Only like 7 people out of 100 own a gun,so I doubt it.In America it's like 95 out of 100.
