If you are incapable of determining if you see a gun then you sure as h*** shouldn't be shooting anyone.

I believe there should be an actual, credible threat to someone's life before using deadly force. Not just the belief that he may have been reaching for a gun but actually seeing the gun. If you're going to shoot someone then you better be right - in this case the permit carrier was not right. He may not be criminally liable or charged but his rational thought was incorrect.

Apparently, you and I have a different idea of what a reasonable person would think....and a different comfort level with the killing of an unarmed individual.
