The store owner did better than most LEO in a a shootout. IMO he did well under the circumstances. He may not have done everything perfect tactically. However, he survived; the employee survived; and the owner had a very good hit ratio. When you take into account that both thugs were arrested, it is even better.
I agree there should be laws to protect innocent victims like this from a civil lawsuit. Common sense should prevail, but it would be better if a civil lawsuit was not even allowed. The thug did not have to go for the front door. How about using the emergency exit or the door in which they broke into the store? |

Two thoughts for consideration
Quote:
Second, it appears that the store owner ceased fire when it became clear that the BG was departing. Maybe he was out of ammo, or just ducking, but he didn't try to nail the guy as he was exiting. Smart. Overall the store owner shot well and otherwise behaved like a responsible citizen who expected his every action to appear on video. So should we all. Video surveillance is everywhere and every grammar school child has a cell phone that takes videos. It would be highly instructive to learn what training/experience the store owner had. Quote:

If you have the advantage of being concealed but are able to view the assailants, that's a huge advantage, especially in terms of time to prepare, mental attitude, advantage of surprise.... If i had a backroom with video, i'd definately have a vest back there too. |
