“Not if the idiot journalist was correct in that the victim shot the criminal after the robbery. During the robbery attempt would be legal and that’s probably what really happened. “

If the robber already has a gun in your face its probably not a good idea to go for yours. Depends on circumstances.

Regarding his shooting the guy after the robbery. I assume you are saying he was no longer in danger and therefor had no cause to use deadly force.

I disagree, he had been robbed and a reasonable person would feel danger until the robber was no longer in the area. So they were still in danger. Second, it is not against the law to tell a robber to stop. Once the robber points the gun at you then you are free and clear to shoot.

Depends on state laws of course. I can’t see any charges for something like this in Florida.

Not at all, The bad guy got what he deserved.
I'm saying the journalist is an idiot that can't compose a grammatically correct sentence.
