Among his other problems the old fellow 'broke leather' when the situation did not warrant it. I was trained to only draw if truly necessary, and if its necessary to draw it is probably necessary to fire. A gun is not a magic talisman to go 'booga-booga-boo' and make the bad guy run away.
Also, what was the coach doing trying to talk with guy when he was leaving? We used to own a bar, and when you toss someone and tell them to go, you let them go. No, 'last words' from you, no rubbing it in, the big thing is to get them out as quietly and quickly as possible with a minimum of fuss. I have a feeling the old man was complying and Mr. Motormouth coach escalated the situation again. If I was a 64 year old man and some thirty-something was getting hostile with me I'd feel threatened. Just a hunch... It sounds like a motormouth coach was being a jerk and was feeling like a big man until the senior citizen felt threatened and drew his weapon. Mr.'I can bench 400#' then realized he can't out run a bullet and got scared. If this is the case, I hope the old man gets the charges dropped.
I'm not saying the CHL holder was right, but I think there is more to this story than is in this article.
