I probably would have chosen to shoot for fear of what escalation would take place if I was incapacitated. He was lucky that the bad guy only wanted to use his CO2 pistol. And that the BBs hadn't hit an eye, temple, etc. That same bad guy could have stomped him into the ground and removed his ability to fight back later. Even if I knew it was a CO2 pistol, I think I would have drawn and if I wasn't looking at the back of a fleeing person when the sights got lined up it might have ended differently.
It is tough to decide if someone else should shoot more or shoot less. I fear having to make that call. I hope my fear keeps me thinking and mentally exercising.
