Update: George Zimmerman's wife tells two different stories about presence of gun

From the Washington Post, on the incident where George Zimmerman's wife accused George Zimmerman of threatening her and her father and breaking her father's nose:

Shellie Zimmerman, who has filed for divorce, initially told a 911 dispatcher that her husband had his hand on his gun as he sat in his car outside the home she was at with her father. She said she was scared because she wasn’t sure what Zimmerman was capable of doing. But hours later she changed her story and said she never saw a firearm, said Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell.

For the time being, “domestic violence can’t be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn’t see a firearm,” Bracknell said.

What is Shellie up to? Could it be that her conviction of perjury (i.e. lying) is a sign that this person is not very honest?

Given his HISTORY of Domestic Violence (GF) and Assault against a Female Bar Patron, which charges were dropped (WHY?), I would believe his current wife.

As a female, I would stay as FAR AWAY as possible from a "man" like Zimmerman.

alcohol treatment. He's a violent man, training 3 days a week to beat people up, and carrying a gun in case training didn't work. I don't think he grabbed his gun and stalked Martin intending mentor him.

This is just more evidence of violence and how the law protects such losers.

Look, poor little Georgie has a history of violence.

You can blame the victims, make insinuations, and say whatever you want to defend your precious NRA, but the fact remains - your boy is a killer.

Enjoy your stay.

Plus Assault on a Police Officer. ALL charges dropped. Ignore all that violent history? Georgie, is just a law abiding, peaceful man? His wife should have RAN from him, let alone married this man.

But fire officials who responded to the scene “checked everyone physically” and found that “no one had any visible marks or needed any treatment,” according to Hudson.

I've treated enough broken noses to know that there would be physical evidence of it.

knowing how he's married to his gun-taking it on dog walks and to the grocery market-wouldn't it be logical to assume he was reaching for his gun?
