A big question that needs to be asked is, where is the gun? Witnesses say they saw the man shooting a pistol in the air while the car drove off and then enter the restaurant, but no weapon found. Did someone in the restaurant decide the pistol was theirs for the taking and pocketed it?
Now, as to the low life getting shot, perform dangerous actions and you are subject to dangerous reactions. Not anything near rocket science. What was the licensed to carry good guy supposed to think or do after witnessing the actions of the thug shooting outside the restaurant when said thug entered the building and demanded to know who called the police. He then reaches into his pocket, so what is a reasonable individual supposed to think? Oh, he has an itch and is discreetly scratching the itch or is he going to pull out his gun to threaten or kill other people? He has voiced his anger at having the police called on him. At that point in time, you don't have the luxury of Monday morning quarterbacking like is going on in this thread, you have to react in a manner that provides for your safety. This individual demonstrated that he was willing to use a gun.
