Yes it would have likely saved his life...hindsight and all I believe Z wishes every moment since then that he had waited.
I fully expect he feels terrible about this. If he is a decent human being (which I don't doubt - we are not talking about Ted Bundy here) this incident will haunt him for the rest of his life. Honestly this case is a perfect illustration of why I have no interest in carrying a concealed weapon, although I own and am proficient with a pistol. Zimmerman is, probably, a decent guy who made an error in judgment, and now he's faced with, at best, being ostracized and, at worst, spending decades in prison (and even a short prison sentence will be particularly rough due to the nature of the crime he would have been convicted of). In either case he gets to spend his remaining years picturing Trayvon's face and thinking, "Why did I get out of the car?"
