Yes civility is gone, which is why we need to keep our ego’s in check. Perhaps the aggressor is dead in this story and perhaps not. We don’t really know nor will we ever. Assuming the cops have it right then this guy is fortunate. It could easily have gone the other way or he could be under arrest for murder.
Given the choice, I’d much rather walk away from beef jerky and razors at walmart then shoot someone.

Indeed. I do not know of any instructor who teaches differently. You said it well.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to put into practice.
Who said anything about egos? You even said yourself, you don't know what happened...Maybe the shooter did nothing and was attacked anyway. No?
And that wasn't my point anyway. My point once again is that is why so many nowadays are at least trying to protect themselves and their families by any means necessary.

Perhaps I should be a bit clearer for you.
The above means people will kill, rob and beat you for little or no reason nowadays, regards of what kind of ego you may or may not have...
Obviously, if one takes the responsibility of having a cw, only a lunatic would use it to shoot someone to death over a cutting in line/argument or popcorn throwing type incident.
