This guy did exactly what he should have done in this situation. His actions were to stop the threat and get away as soon as possible. This is exactly what i was taught to do in my recent concealed weapons permit class. Did he need to kill the guy? I don't know i wasn't there, but I believe that if he has carried a gun for 20 years and up until this incident, had not used it, odds are he's probably not some vigilante out lookin for trouble.
I promise you that if you draw a weapon on me in a threatening manner, I will shoot you, and that the odds of you surviving that encounter are not very good. It is not only my right to defend myself, but as a parent, I view it as my responsibility.
Pizza Hut was justified in firing him, as he knowingly violated their policy, thereby creating the possibility for an expensive lawsuit.
