I carry.
I would not shoot someone robbing somebody’s cell phone store, were I there.
I’d be ready to shoot if the situation escalated,
but I would not shoot just to take out the robber.
The suspect was armed. We’re getting a snippet of the story, so we don’t really know what went down.
I agree. To me, carry is defensive in nature. Going on the offensive to protect someone else's property is above why I would carry. BUT if any threat turned in my direction or family or friends, the response would be to immediately stop that treat.
"Police confiscated the robbery suspect's gun and the gun belonging to the concealed carry permit holder."
Exactly. The good Samaritan will be lucky to ever see his weapon again.

Police confiscated the robbery suspect's gun and the gun belonging to the concealed carry permit holder.
Once a gun is displayed by the perp, no one knows what he'll do next.
The citizen chose wisely.
The situation had escalated. The robbery suspect was using
a gun.
