Anyhow, you and I will never agree so 'nuff said on this topic for me.

He was
not "playing John Wayne." He was
defending himself against an armed criminal who was pointing a shotgun at him. It is amazing that you don't comprehend that.
Your assumption that the CCW holder was not a good shot again ignores the stress associated with having an "agitated" criminal pointing a shotgun at him.
The criminal left the store without his shotgun and without the money, and was apprehended.
Good outcome.
You are correct that we will never agree. You want everyone to be Sheep. That is not practical in the real world.
And, again......... there is nothing wrong with being a Sheep. It simply means you go into the world unarmed, as most people do.
Among them, protecting us all, are the Sheepdogs.
