Instictively you would think that he would draw a pistol instead of a rifle.

I could see where you might think that but I carry a rifle and a handgun everyday. After personally seeing the damage that can be done by our rifle rounds vs. our hand gun rounds I would pick the rifle every time if I had the opportunity.

Ya hate to see kids so young (17, 19) that die for being stupid.

Please don't confuse either their age or their stupidity with what they really are. We deal regularly with young criminals (15 and 16) who are more hard core than any adult criminal you will ever find. Most of them have no value system at all and would kill you or your family just for the heck of it.

That being said, I feel for the security guard who had to take some one's life but it was their choice - not his. Thank goodness he was able to protect himself.

Also, the Dallas PD could care less why he was carrying a SKS. It's the media trying to make something out of nothing. If the media was doing the right thing they would be checking into the backgrounds and criminal history of the others and running a story about what happens when you choose a path of crime.
