We could go on and on about the various aspects of this scenario (off-body carry, etc.) but I wanted to highlight the importance of learning to manage unknown contacts. Being able to recognize cues, avoiding task fixation and just having a situational awareness sufficient enough to put the hackles up early are all important. What you don't know could get you killed or cause you to have to kill someone else when you might not have needed to, otherwise.

The victim of the initial attack was already presented with what should have rang loud and obnoxious warning bells when he was approached and persistently engaged by someone he didn't know and who was also calling him by a name that was not his own.
The first attacker continued to interview him in the parking lot, gave blatant pre-assault indicators and then closed to within "bad breath distance" all before the attack actually occured. None of those last three things had to happen. They might have been avoided by properly managing the contact with this individual once he approached outside the store. The same can be said for the exchange inside but I'm only trying to discuss what we can see on the video.
Please note that I am not criticizing this guy for defending himself. Hopefully d'bag #1 having to crap in a bag for a while will dissuade them both from ever doing anything else like this again.
I am merely pointing out that there is information available to all of us that will arm us with techniques that could potentially prevent our ever having to produce a firearm in the first place.
Let's talk software.
