I agree that he made all the right choices under the circumstances. However, discharging a weapon in a crowded restaurant isn't violent? My thoughts are that if he could AD/ND at the floor, he could do it while pointing at his victims.txinvestigator wrote:Two criminals entered the place armed with handguns and immediately fired a round into the floor.

he decided to only engage if the became violent.
Circumstances like these make me wonder - were there any CHL holders present? Aren't there ever any CHL holders in situations like this? are the percentages that low? Maybe I don't read enough news, but it's always off-duty cops.
Also, what would have happened if a CHL was there and acted before the cop did? Would they easily have recognized each other as 'good guys'? this has always been one of my worries and don't hear many people discuss it.
I can only hope I would make the same wise decisions this cop made.
