So you need to be armed with a shotgun to make a phone call?
Zimmerman was armed, untrained, and had anger issues. He handled the entire situation from the start poorly. If I understand correctly, at one point Martin had circled around Zimmerman's truck. Instead of being friendly, Zimmerman rolled up his window and said nothing.
You say the neighborhood watch has nothing to do with law enforcement, but yet here we have Zimmerman chasing an innocent kid through an apartment complex in rain.
