I don't see an issue with that. He has no idea when the threat is stopped or gone. They could easily be running toward the door, but ready to turn and fire again.Thomas wrote:Shooting at someone who's fleeing?

Re: Tennessee Convienence Store Shootout
Wow wow.
Like you said, so many things wrong. He could have been so easily killed when he grabbed their guns.
Hard to know or say what I'd have done differently though. (except the obvious: carry chambered and make it a GLOCK so I know it will go bang)
But if you work in a store like that, it would be hard to not have my hand on my gun all the time. Any time someone came in I probably would after being robbed. I think when people walk in, you could tell if they're there to shop or not. If they move right in and right toward you, I think I'd be ready to draw very quickly, and I for dang sure wouldn't have to chamber a round. That magazine falling out was like a nightmare scenario. It reminds me of dreams I have where I need to run, but I can't hardly move. That's how I would feel if my magazine hit the floor in that scenario... wow.
