What hand to hand technique do you recommend to disable that opponent in this situation that would be legal to use?

The shop owner shouldn't of confronted the guy in the first place so this shouldn't of happened. When his gun dropped there was no chance to defend himself because the bad guy just had to pull the trigger. As far as what is legal vs what is not that would differ by state.
Regardless, that still doesn't mean we shouldn't be training weapon retention against an opponent that has a hold of you, pushes you, etc. Its one area a lot of people ignore because they think they can avoid someone closing the distance. Reminds me of what the karate/Tae kwon do people used to say before they saw UFC 1-5 and realized they never trained how to fight on the ground because they had these visions of how a fight should happen vs how it really does.
