of his immediate surroundings, and he reacted to the threat and he was armed.
most people could not draw and fire defensively in under the approximately 1.7 seconds it took him to react,
especially, if having to accurately place a couple shots on the attacker was required to stop the eminent threat
what really saved this guy was the felon having to chamber a cartridge as he got out of the car,
(one more instance where the criminals use of an automatic vs a revolver may have saved his life)
giving him the potential victim, a marginal but critical buffer in time to react to the threat
if the criminal had used a 357 mag revolver this might have been very different,
if you select a semi-auto , handgun, for personal defense, find one that's safe to carry with a cartridge chambered
