Glad to hear that common sense trumped company policy.
I'd guess that emptying his magazine might be 'more force than is necessary to stop the threat'. I'd also guess that if I truley were in fear of losing my life, I's do the same thing.
It reminds me of a story I heard about a guy that was on trial for assault.
He was at a resturant with his family when some *$$ started making fun of his retarded daughter, so he decked the guy.
After hearing the details the judge says "OK, I understand why you hit him and knocked him to the floor, but why did you kick him when he was down?"
The defendant calmly replied "Because I did want him to get back up".
