I understand that in the moment you have to defend yourself, but what was his backstop? Were his rounds going outside and across the parking lot?

I think he was hoping to use the thugs as the backstop to stop the bullets. Once the thugs opened fire in the store the owner tried to put an end to the threat. I'm surprised he didn't have a handgun instead of the AK 47.
