The way he brought his hand around to sweep the shotgun in the direction he did suggests training to me.

Either way, that crook is a loser, even for a thug. Or possibly the shotgun was empty and he panicked when he realized he was about to have his posterior kicked.

I agree with you on the 10-15 feet, but even if he had the gun low, someone trained could easily take the gun away if the BG was in close. I was in a hand to hand class last weekend where we practiced doing just what this guy did, including disarms where the BG is behind you.
