Good decision by the grand jury, and the better news is the punk wont be doing it again. Maybe if the liberal justice system they seem to have in the US a well hadnt let him out so early he would be living now?

Please give us the benefit of your knowledge that you have gleaned from the information posted so far that the diner who was in legal ownership of a firearm was an untrained testerone gun freak !
I doubt you would of had the same composure as he displayed whilst a criminal waving a gun and robbing diners with an illegally held firearm, albeit a replica , had. You can see him weighing up the chance to draw his legally held firearm to his best advantage and not ending up in the morgue himself. It was a almost textbook examp;le of using a firearm for defence of himself and others. Like it or not the Texas law sanctions the use of legally held weapons for defence
.They do not allow felons to possess any weapon and the deceased should of known that.
Most Firearms stores will allow potential customers/owners of firearms to attend defence courses where they are taught how to handle their newly acquired weapons on the range and when to use them for defence.
For all you know the innocent diner could have been a highly trained serviceman or ex serviceman and not a testerone filled gun nut who had already worked out who would be the likely candidate for the morgue.
Retrocop - Whenever I offer my view on a scenario like this, you always fall back on your standard 'What would you have done / You don't know what you're talking about ...' which ignores the simple fact that I don't need to have direct experience of something, or be an expert, in order simply to express an opinion, which is what I am doing.
You're right, I haven't but this robber was not shooting at anyone and did not take sixty bullets to be no longer a threat.
He was walking toward the exit with what would have been thought to be a real gun in his hand.
As he passed the customer, he was shot four times fell forward to the ground and made no movements.
The customer then approached him at walking pace, shooting him as he did so.
The eighth shot was at close quarters and he then appeared to bend down before firing the final, ninth shot.
That might have been the one described in the link as, "hitting him execution-style in the head".
