How do you know that? I am not really an advocate for gun ownership, kind of on the fence about it to be honest, but how the hell do you know that the robber isn't only keeping you alive until you hand the goods over?
His life was threatened, because he had a gun pointed at him. He acted in self-defense. Whether he should have that right is another story, but he doesn't really seem like the type of guy who looks for a fight, just someone who knows there are bound to be some and is prepared for them.
Edit: other people already attacked that part of your statement. Still, though, my point stands.
