[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 3137257, member: 7157"] The shooter should have been aware that, even if he wasn’t doing anything illegal, he was escalating the situation by continuing to argue with the woman. He could have made his point, walked away knowing he didn’t need to be obnoxious about it, and if it still bothered him, complained to the store employees. Having a CCW should have made him more cognizant of the need to avoid confrontation. The guy in the video doing an analysis of the shooting says so, in more eloquent terms. Did he deserve to be assaulted? No. Could he have avoided the situation by refusing to escalate matters? Yes. Could he have, once he pulled his pistol, refrained from pulling the trigger, especially since he paused several seconds before doing so? With the guy stepping back? Definitely yes. Now I’m not saying anyone was in the right. Rather, as I mentioned in my first post in this thread, there was wrong all around, and the shooter started it all, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
