Would the shooting be ruled justified?



The above video has been sweeping the internet and its "somewhat" cool.

I do have a few issues though.  First the clerk was awesome.  His draw was slow, but he took control of the bad guys wrist and put him in a totally defensive situation.

Having said that, I do wonder why he didn't pull the trigger?

Next, if he did pull the trigger would it have been a legal shoot?  I live in the deep South so it wouldn't be an issue.  But what about in different parts of the country (and I'm not talking about Kalifornia, Kommunist Chikago or Socialist DC .... see what I did there)?

And then my last question (and this is pure dee arm chair quarterbacking) why didn't he detain the guy and give the police a chance to arrest him since he didn't do his other civic duty (ventilate the bad guy).

All in all very cool but after actions are where you learn how to do it better next time.
