I was once told by a lawyer (back during the Bernie Goetz trial) to always take a kill shot. That way there’s no injured perp to sue you for things like loss of quality of life (HIS) resulting from a wounding.

Depends on which weapon I am most proficient with. All things considered the hand gun would be the best choice. Less chance of a lot of collateral damage, less chance of spraying employee with buck shot. Store owner is to be commended for not aiming at center mass. But the state will have to feed and house this crumb for a while.
