Impressive self-defense
Video here.
As pointed out, in each of the shopkeeper's gunfights, the robber started with his gun out and the shopkeeper with his stashed, but the good guy prevailed (albeit getting hit twice). This answers the 20/20 assertion that a defender will invariably freeze up and be helpless, while the thug will always be functional and confident.

Wow.

Maybe I'm getting too corroded, but all I could think about was that this guy must have endured a blizzard of wrongful-death lawsuits.

That's an OLD video - I think it's from the first round of the Gun Wars when Clinton was trying to enact the Brady Bill and pass the AWB.
It's a damn shame that we didn't have the internet back then.

Lance Thomas is a hero. A roll model for those who are tired of being conditioned to be victims. He's conditioned himself to be a winner.
General Forrest said something to the effect, "No damn man will ever kill me and live."
Every one of the thugs who attempted to rob Thomas deserved exactly what he got. And, made the determination of what his life was worth. Thomas just pushed the key on the cash register.
