George Zimmerman, who is now a free man again after girlfriend Samantha Scheibe declined to press charges for an alleged domestic abuse in November, will be getting his guns and ammo back.

Zimmerman vaulted into notoriety when he killed an unarmed black teen, Trayvon Martin, in Febuary 2012 in Florida.

He was acquitted of wrongdoing by a jury in September 2013, but has gotten into trouble multiple times since then, such as getting pulled over for speeding three times, and after spats with both his wife and his girlfriend.

Since Scheibe refused to testify against Zimmerman after initially saying Zimmerman abused her and threatened her with a shotgun.

That means Zimmerman will get back his full cache, law enforcement sources told TMZ.

The cache includes three black handgun holsters, 2 Taurus 9mm handguns, 1 Glock 19 handgun, and a Kel-Tec 12 gauge shotgun.

Zimmerman also got back a flashlight, pocket knife, and two cell phones that were on him when he was arrested, among other items.

Zimmerman is free to pick up all the seized items at his convenience.
