That's fine, he made such a decision. However, he more than likely broke the laws in this state, and should be charged as such. Then the legal system can determine if his actions were warranted or not.

I don't dispute that he was shot at on a freeway, and decided that getting a weapon himself might have been the safest thing to do, what I'm concerned about is that Mr. Horn created a precedence where fat old white men can shoot at criminals and not have to deal with the legality of their actions. If those kids had not broken off the assault and put him out of danger, then I would have fully supported him killing all of them right there on I-45.

The "fat old white man" part is extrapolating from a classically crappy Chron story, just like the "gang banger" part
