You could have ended it immediately, right? Because you've fired shots at a moving target that just assassinated someone a block away and is now pointing the gun at you. You've worked under those conditions, right? One shot, boom. Just like in the movies.
You my friend, are completely full of it.

You, my friend, have missed the point, and clearly don't understand the language or context of those statements. Let me try again:
Yes, a CCW holder could have ended it right there. COULD have, not WOULD have. Remember, no absolutes. It has been demonstrated in the past that individuals that are CCW holders have intervened very successfully, but I'm not one of those guys who gets blinded by one side, and I KNOW that there are instances that has not been the case, hence my admission that not everyone can be spoken for and some individuals may not execute proper judgement, that can also be demonstrated. I didn't flip flop on anything, sorry about your misinterpretation and allowing me to retype this for you.
Furthermore, my position is anything but absurd. I'm curious as to the reasoning you're so passionate about this? I'm protecting my interests, do you feel unsafe around firearms? Do you get uncomfortable around police officers? Or are you one of the people that see the sensationalism in the media about demonization of firearms and decide your mind is made up without actually educating yourself? I'm truly curious
