I didn't see anything about his arms being pinned, his chest and body were pinned by the 158 pounds of 5'11" Martin. GZ's face was being pushed and his hands were probably occupied by trying to push TM hands off his face. He then probably remembered his weapon and moved his hands downward to his weapon, which TM could see and realized then that GZ was going for something. GZ might of been thinking of just pulling the weapon in an attempt to scare TM and to get him off. However, TM also moved his hands down toward the weapon and GZ was forced to fire. Whether GZ is lefthanded or right, you wear your weapon on the side you wish to draw.
