But, you bring up a point I had never thought of. That Zimmerman would actively hide his weapon, not to keep from losing it, but to keep Trayvon from surrendering. He didn't want him to have the opportunity to quit fighting. Well, we don't know what was in Zimmerman's head, but the evidence is there, that this is a possibility. Keep the kid fighting so he has an excuse to shoot him. Not that he needed even that much given what I heard on the 911 call.
