So Trayvon's last words were, "You got me!"
According to Killerman's daddy.
They watch way too much TV.
It's time for his dad to crawl back under that rock!

For making me laugh 
Welcome to DU Daniel!
Thanks for the time you are spending on research and sharing your findings.
What you are saying is really interesting and would be very timely if marketed now.
While I am a gun owner, my gun has only been fired for target practice and to take out varmints (rattlesnakes close to the barn and raccoons around the house).
A friend of mine tried to get me to join her concealed carry class for her group of ladies. I can't see the point. I'm not going to carry a gun around. If I felt the need to do so, I'd carry it openly in a holster on my hip where it would be more accessible and be a visual deterrent.
But if I felt so unsafe that I saw that as a need, I would either work to make my community safer or I would move to a safer community. And carrying guns around as a way of solving problems is, in my opinion, not the way to make my community safer!
I'd not be interested in checking out a concealed permit forum. I'd be a troll and would start a firestorm or be banned really quickly. 
I folded up last night, so didn't see your messages until now. Still working on my first morning coffee and I am NOT awake yet. 
While you try to find a cite for it, here's an image of leonardo's vitruvian man with a standard target superimposed.
Notice how the red dot (the center of the target) lines up with the top of the Xiphoid process, the same 'center of the chest' that you use as a reference point when doing CPR.
[div class='excerpt']"don't act like I am some armature [sic] "
I'll treat you like an amateur until you demonstrate otherwise. You've not done so yet.
[div class='excerpt']However firearm instructors that advocate concealed carry, and especially the ones that write books and articles on the subject, usually are very opposed to the theory of shooting at center of mass. Instead they argue for shoot at center of chest, aim for the heart. They say the concealed carry permit holder should do this cause it increase the stopping power of the bullet. This is certainly true, however it also greatly increase the lethality of the bullet as well.
Please provide a cite. We'll wait. ('aim for the heart' isn't 'center of the chest', btw. Which is it?)
[div class='excerpt']On top of this they also often advocate that after you shoot the "bad guy" twice in the chest you should also shoot him in the head if he is still a threat. Once again if you really are in a deadly situation that you could not have avoid and the target was still attacking after you shot him twice in the chest (very unlikely) shooting him in the head might not be a bad idea. But once again the concealed carry vigilante uses this to shoot them in the head if they are still standing after being shot twice in the chest, thus making sure they can;t contradict your version of the story you are about the tell the police. If you read the case histories of concealed carry shootings you will find that in many of the stories the concealed carry permit holders tell the police are very much like Zimmerman's with the cheesy B movie lines put into the mouth of the "bad guy", (like- tonight is the night you die), that is now dead.
That is called the tueller drill, and is practiced by police everywhere, especially after the north hollywood bank robbery and shootout. It was designed as a defense against perpetrators wearing body armor. But as people started carrying smaller caliber handguns for concealed carry, the chances of center mass shots stopping a large perpetrator decreased.
You've obviously never worked in an emergency room or talked to an emergency room physician. If you ever do, ask them how many people have stumbled into the ER on their own power with a chest wound.
As I posted elsewhere, old police targets had a guy squinting over a revolver. The center of that target is square in the chest.
Why would a target be used with the bulls eye somewhere other than the center?!?
In years past, cops were taught to fire from the hip, but they were aiming at the same place.
Notice the date on that one- 1955, and look where they're aiming at.

Here's an oooold police training target..
Notice where the center of the target is- the middle finger of his left hand- a straight line across his chest to the armpit.
Throw some more psycho-babble at us, this just gets better and better.
Quick, tell me what I'm thinking now..
LOL!
and thank you
and welcome to DU
you beat me to it

I know this is a serious subject, but that is too funny beyond words
