IMHO, that's all it would take. If I had to pull out my gun to defend myself and the threat backed off at the sight of it, I hope that I wouldn't shoot. Many crimes have been thwarted simply by the sight of a gun.
On the other hand, things happen so quickly that it's hard to say if this was justified or not.
What I don't like is the testimony that this guy has been in and around that store in the past causing trouble by confronting people. I avoid confrontation like the plague because I never want to be in a position where I feel my life is threatened, but it seems like this guy was looking to shoot someone.
It will be interesting to see the result and hear all the facts.
