I watched Jay Leno two nights ago interview Savannah Guthrie about the Zimmerman case. He obviously didn't know what 'neighborhood watch' was or a concealed weapons permit. From his questions I got the immediate impression he thought GZ was a hired security guard and was given a gun as part of his job. He couldn't comprehend that citizens will go out and patrol their neighborhood on their own free time. Another question was, why do they give these guys real guns. Again, he had no clue that GZ was legally carrying a concealed weapon that he owned. I got so annoyed by his ignorance I turned the show off.
