Let’s put it this way. You are in a store carrying your Concealed weapon. A guy comes in and shoots a clerk and a customer. Are you going to play judge and jury and execute him or obey the rule of law and presume he is innocent?

I would pull back so he would stop firing to conserve ammo. Or maybe wing him and wait for him to bleed out. Oh, and look for a bullhorn. ;)

Rephrased to more accurately fit what happened:

“Let’s put it this way. You are in a store carrying your Concealed weapon. A guy comes in and shoots a clerk and a customer. He retreats and barricades himself in the walk in beer cooler. Are you going to play cop, prosecutor, judge, jury and executioner by firing every round you have into the cooler, or move out and stand off a distance so that less lethal force can potentially dislodge him?”

There. That approximates what happened.

Well, what would everyone here do? Fire every round randomly through the beers, knowing some would hit and kill him? Or retreat and try other tactics?
