Just having a gun is not enough. It meets the ability and opportunity requirements, but may not meet the jeopardy requirements.
To be justified, the Durango party would have to be able to show that a reasonable person in their situation would believe that Dunn would use the gun to place their lives or bodily integrity in jeopardy.
Dunn's account meets this requirement by stating that a person or persons in the Durango repeatedly verbally threatened his life.
For the people in the Durango to meet the requirement, they would have to show something to the same effect.
Note that sequence matters. You cannot be the first to introduce threats, and then claim self defense, unless you attempt to remove yourself from the situation, say by apologizing and/or physically moving away.
It doesn't meet that reauirement just because he says so. Dunn's account defies credibility because his complaint with the Durango was that the music was too loud. He couldn't hear a threat even if there was one.

like Dunn done did here!!!
unless you attempt to remove yourself from the situation, say by ... physically moving away.
kind of like what the kids in the Durango did here.
This case just proves that just because a shooter has a CCW license, it doesn't mean that [s]he used the gun lawfully.
