Since you all here seem to have all the answers, what would have been the appropriate course of action?
Should he have pulled the gun and attempted to hold them at gunpoint?
Should he have used his ninja karate skills to beat them down without using his gun?
What should I have done if it had been me who was attacked for no reason? I carry and I am not a fighter so I know I can't hold up in a fist fight, even against one guy.
What should a woman or weak old guy do in that situation?
My answer to all of the above is: If someone means to physically hurt you, you have all the reason you need to shoot.
