Watching the video, the goblin seems pretty surprised when the quiet, unassuming pharmacist skins and goes to work. Poor victim selection process, which is just exactly what concealed carry is supposed to foster.

Good job by all.

Good SA on the part of the pharmacist. Notice he draws while obscured by the other guys behind the counter. Thuggy McRobberpants didn't have a clue as the pharmacist stepped out, raised up and popped him. Reading the caption, it appears that Thuggy is now an ex-goblin, he has ceased to be.

Someone posted the requisite 'choir boy' pic in the comments of the perp with his family. I am sorry for them he went down the path of drugs and robbery, but trying to defend him as 'not out to hurt anyone' is next-level stupid. Produce a gun in the commission of a felony and get whacked? Can't really feel sorry for him. Sorry for his family, but he crossed the line.

Good for him. Now I am looking at his tactics. I think he fires one shot and goblin goes down. According to a different post, bad guy had one in the chest if not in the heart, but he pops back up. Our hero didn't expect that.

Lessons: More than one shot even in the heart maybe/will be necessary.
Should he have driven toward bad guy to make sure he was down? Fall back behind the counter for cover?

Did the goblin get off a shot? Didn't look like it.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

According to THIS article the good guy shot three times. First bullet hit the thug in the shoulder and the third hit him in the chest. Check out the article to see where the second round went.

Huh. Picture appears to be a railed 9mm P226.

Second round hit the goblin's handgun in the muzzle, disabling it. Goblin continued to point gun at pharmacist, and pharmacist didn't know the pistol was disabled, so he fired again, ending it.

It's actually fairly common to find bullet strikes on the gun or gun hand. The eye tends to focus on the threat and that threat is the gun. Call it subconscious reaction, but a good number of folks recall later, simply shooting that the gun. That's what they're focused on, that's what they shoot.

Seems to have been knocked out of battery and then wedged in that position with debris. Not going to shoot that way.

I hope nobody is going to claim the THIRD shot (the fatal one) was therefore murder or something, because the second shot had managed to effectively disarm the bad guy. But you know somebody is going to try....
