yes, I have firearms in my home for defense of my own life and that of my family and I have indeed been in a situation where a firearm was (in my opinion and upon reflection) the best option in the circumstance. however, as a gun owner I also strongly believe that if I feel threatened to the point where I so strongly felt the need to produce and use it (which luckily I didnt have to), then I also feel confident that, while I would take little joy in it, I would also have little remorse in such a situation.
mostly because I feel in my heart of hearts that it is they that created said situation, not I. I just happened to be prepared.
so yes, in the situation the clerk faced, I'd have shot him and felt little remorse although I'd have been very angry that HE made me do so.
