How did you decide that he came to those conclusions? Do you have any references? From what I understand he never carried a gun on him, never used anything that held over 9 rounds, had one 9mm out of 8 guns, and the only time he grabbed the 9mm P-225 it jammed on him after 3 rounds. But thanks to his prior planning, he had a P-220 .45 within reach.
I would say that the conclusion he came to was to NOT have a gun on him where he might not be able to get to it, but to have a LOT of lower capacity guns within reach. Seems that the same reasoning might have worked out better for the shop owners in the original post.
Seems that his conclusion was to have four SIG 8 or 9 shot semi-automatics (1 in 9mm, 3 in 45 auto) and four revolvers lying around under his counters where he could grab a gun if one was needed, then drop it and grab another one if the one he was using jammed or ran out of ammo.
Doesn't seem real practical for a typical person with a CCW to carry eight weapons on them, but it makes sense in a shop.
