Yeah, I thought so to. They weren't going to be run out of the stores that they owned and depended on their livelihood for by armed criminals looking to profit at their expense. So they defended themselves.

My CCW instructor gave an example of someone in my house attempting to beat down the door to our bedroom, at which point would I be justified in shooting him/her? We do not have a Castle Doctrine here but simply a stand your ground. His reply was not until the door fails to keep him/her out.

If your area is hit by a big natural or man-made disaster, it may be days or even weeks before normal services (including 911 and police response) could be restored.
This is the reality that exists today and what we saw during LA riot has happened repeatedly during hurricanes and will happen again where police response may not be immediate.
Even my anti-gun coworkers have changed their stance on gun over the decades as one by one they or their family/friends/neighbors were robbed/burglarized. Many have bought guns and are CCW permit holders as they realized the reality of police response.
