Perhaps the BG - who was charging over the counter(s) towards the owner - was larger than the store owner and, thus, considered to be a lethal threat by the store owner? This would negate the need for the BG to have possession of any physical weapon, no?

This is not a simple case of self defense. It is also a case of deadly force in defense of property and stopping the commission of a violent felony. This is more than covered under the law.

I mean come on, that's horrible shot placement!!!!

With the guy climbing over the counter, the thighs may have been the only large mass available to shoot at.

Remember, Center Of Mass means the center of the largest mass available to you at the time. You can only shoot at what you can see and/or where you can point your gun. The BG could have been over the top of this guys drawn gun, with only the legs in front of him available to shoot.
