Guy walks into a Burger King.
You are standing there in line.
He's wearing a ski mask has a gun and is screaming for the clerk to give up the blankety blank cash or he's blankety blank dead.
You pull out your concealed weapon and TRY TO TALK HIM OUT OF A ROBBERY?HIM HOLDING A GUN IN PLAIN SIGHT?
I am not Dirty Harry and this is not tv.
That criminal is purposely putting everyone in danger by just trying to pull off an armed robbery.
I pull out my gun and convince him to stop by shooting him.
What little was reported said that the ccw holder got into a argument with the man.
He gave up one of the two weapons he had.
The element of surprise.
Had he even shot the guy in the hand,leg,foot or body,screaming "Get on the 'blanking ground now!"the bad guy might have dropped the gun.
If the bad guy did'nt and turned to the ccw holder,he was activily trying to shoot the ccw holder and because the criminal was already in the middle of a unlawful action that already jeopordized everyone the store,the criminal forced the ccw holder to shoot and kill the guy.
Ten years ago,I watched a video of an off duty police officer trying to stop a robber that just robbed a convienience store clerk and the robber was on his way out without shooting anyone.
I watch with horror on the video as the off duty officer got into a handgrab situation with the robber,pushed the robbers hand with the gun,high over the officers head.
The officer held the bad guys hand there and I watched in horror as that criminal rotated the gun down with his wrist and shot the officer point blank in the top of the officers head.
The officer died while he was standing there.
When he fell to the ground ,the officer immediately shrunk into a fetal position.
To this day,that video remains the most horrific example of the coldness and total lack of concern any robber has for you and me.
That was the real thing.
That was a real police officer,a fellow American just like you and me, that tried to stop someone that should have never been doing what he was doing in the first place.
And he died immediately because he was not armed and gave the robber the chance to defend the attempt to disarm the robber.
I have no intention of letting someone ever get a chance to shoot me like that ever.
