The clerk was doing great until he walked out that door... the "threat" was leaving and if he'd shot him out in the street, he had lost his protection of "protecting life and property." Get the doofus out the door (at gunpoint if necessary), LOCK the door, and call the cops.
Well, yes, but as statistics have shown, and the NRA says frequently, often the mere presence of a gun is enough to calm down a volatile situation. The store clerk was lucky, the perp was compliant once he saw the gun, and it ended OK. But I don't want to wager my life on "OK"... if confronted with that situation, I think I would have used better tactics.
Yeah, and if you do that in Western Europe, you will be arrested and charged. The criminal walks due to cultural sensitivity. It is his culture to act the way he does. After all, infidels ....
Oh yes you will see it in Europe. The countries have been over ridden with illegal entries, they set fires, rape, you think they don’t steal too? Who are you kidding.
I wonder if the clerk had shot the perp IF a jury would have found him guilty of attempted assault. The perp was black and if the jury was a lefty jury they'd probably convict the store clerk for a racial attack.

Doing OK except not keeping distance between himself and the threat
Yeah, that too.
Also only one hand on the gun, and casually lowering it to his side before the threat was even out of the store :)

This is all really good information: I learn a lot here. Thanks!
His only mistake was hesitating. Shooting him the moment he got his firearm out, while still entangled with the criminal, automatic walk.
Like you said, the crim was 'no longer an immediate threat' when he walked out of the shop.

Love how the opening frame looks like the younger guy has his left hand shoved down the old dude's pants, with the gun in his right hand :)
-5 points, not dropping the threat.
Agreed

I think the meaning was you wouldn't see the store clerk use a firearm.
True. Clerks sit at a desk and do paperwork. The Asian guy was clearly a shop assistant.
Yes, you are probably correct.
Peacefully resolved thanks to guns
Aren’t there 2 shots at the end?

Disappointing
