Couldn't open the link but...the family that shoots together has interlocking fields of fire.

Hopefully Walmart doesn't fire the guy as I'm sure many employers would. Definitely an unfortunate situation but at least he was prepared and had his wits about him to react appropriately.

Yay. Unfortunately he will probably lose his job. But at least he is alive.

He was not on the clock, he was waiting for his shift to begin in the parking lot while sitting in his private car. There is no firable offense in that situation.

Alamo, I tried the link again and it worked, thanks for the alternate too.

Whether or not the law supports his action does not impact what a private employer may or may not do. He shot a guy in their parking lot, he was an employee, whether or not he continues to be an employee is up to them.

Personally, I'd make him employee of the month and put his picture, with his gun, up on the wall...and maybe sponsor a CC class for the local community. It would probably help with shop lifting too.
