That said, the same idea indeed applies to vehicles. Drivers are expected to take all sorts of precautions that pedestrians are not expected to take. A very rigorous and strictly enforced regulatory regime applies to drivers (requiring licensing, insurance, etc). So not sure what your point is.
To your second point, I strongly disagree. So, quite clearly, does the law. A stressful situation does not entitle someone to abandon reason. Even if I am being attacked, I can only respond with force that is reasonable in the circumstances.

You stated that a gun is one of the most dangerous tools a person can wield and honestly is harmless unless it is loaded
As for the last part, who knows how any of us will respond. Unless you have police/military training I would think theres a 1000 diff ways a person will respond.
For the record I thought he was going to get manslaughter, I was surprised he did not
