I'm thinking that he saw the BG holding the door and was pretending to talk on his phone like any other deluded sheep or yuppie. Then went inside looking for his wife, but then one of the gang bangers pointed a gun at him and he reacted. That's my take since I might try the same tactic. Act like you're on the phone so that the idiot banger will just think you're like every other moron walking around.

I originally learned to shoot strong handed. Sometime during the 80s it became fashionable to start using 2 hands. Most instructers at the time claimed that shootiing with 2 hands was for girls and girly men.

Maybe its because of the way that I shoot, but I find I'm a little more accurate single handed, although I recover my aim faster using two hands. At the range I do shoot mostly 2 fisted. I think that some older people might shot better single fisting it. Old habits die hard. and single fisted worked pretty well for those of us that learned that way.

I don't wish to judge the reactions of the CHL holder. My concern is how we (or I)to react to this scenerio as it is reported.

The CHL holder went outside to get the CHL holder.
The CHL's relative at this point was able to leave the scene and
presumably was safe at this point.

The CHL holder went inside or moved in that direction.
Was there another relative inside? If not Wouldn't it be prudent
for the CHL holder to move his relative and himself to safety?
Rather than to move towards the Bad Guy.

The Bad Guy was leaving this should be an opportunity to seek safety. Paladin supplies an answer to the legality of of the shoot

2. robbery isn't complete till the robber gets away with what they stole, therefore an aggravated robbery was still in progress.

I would be reluctant and hope that most CHLers would be reluctant to fire unless it was a clear matter of self defense. As the story is presented I would not have fired. It doesn't appear worth it.

We all know that there could be more to this than we know, and that Wea aren't in the shooters shoes. The BG may have had a bead drawn on his relative. we just don't know. I am just suggesting that as this story is presented, that the right thing to do might be to withhold fire.

I just wonder if hes going to catch flak for shooting the guy in the back.

"The suspect, identified as Raysun Johnson, was shot in the backside as he was leaving the scene."
I don't understand the legal justification for him shooting the BG. I wouldn't have taken the shot. The bad guy was leaving and doesn't sound like a threat at this point.
