7. I don't think anyone is ever formally taught that

in any classroom or training situation. They learn it from their fellow wanna-be's. The Zimmerman types, the ones who enjoy fantasizing about shooting "bad guys" with their guns, often like to talk amongst themselves about how best to do it, and how to avoid going to prison for it. I've heard it plenty of times. My dad and lots of his friends are like that, although not nearly as bad as Zimmerman - they don't make a hobby of going out looking for "bad guys" to shoot. Anyway, one of the things they all seem to agree on is that if you shoot a "bad guy", you should make sure to kill him, because a corpse can't testify against you in court.
