My point is, "what if" isn't what happened here. Simply judging by the way he did handle him self, I feel the "would be shooter" as you put it, would have not engaged with the firearm had the perp ran. But, we will never know, because that is not how it went.
What if your Aunt had testicles? Why..."She'd" be your Uncle!
Like i said, i was wanting to know what the ones who know, leos, would say about the possible consequences. Thanks for enlightening me.

If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

Contrast those facts with other situations.
For reasons you mentioned, guy was definitely former military.
Sadly, I live in the late great State of FL. Perp's here have more rights than we do these days. You'd have to have a knife at your throat, gun to your head, or be shot at point blank to keep from a lengthy lawyer fest.
Although still Constitutional, Life threatening defense of you and yours and property protection doesn't mean much these days. Just shallow gun-clinging words to the Libs.
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

I'd rather have him as my neighbor then some posters on the fire. The dude knew what to do with his weapon when the police showed up. He appears to have had some training.
