Nope, maybe your understanding of the definition changed or I wasn't clear of the definition in the first place. Most likely the later is more accurate though.

"Success" is defined as achieving mission goals. So being seen, shot at, and getting away with nothing more than your life is achieving mission goals? I want to see your dictionary.

Planning to point a gun at someone and still being alive the next day.. yeah I'd say that is successful. You do realize that once you point a gun at someone, you are taking your own like and putting in the hands of anyone else that might me strapped. Anytime you make it out of that situation alive... yeah it's a success.

Civilians are bound by the rule of law, which states that you are entitled to defend yourself, but are not entitled to seek revenge.

If you feel that your life in in danger, you have the right to protect yourself and that's all the reason you need. Meaning if you believe that your life or your families life is at stake, you have a legal right to take action.

It's also based on the actions of a reasonable person. A reasonable person, even one who has his adrenaline pumping because of a near miss, knows that it is wrong to repeatedly shoot someone who is already bleeding out on the floor with a bullet in his head.

It would seem obvious that the District Attorney who charged the pharmacist with Murder, probably has a better understanding of the law than you do.

There are limits to everything, and this guy exceeded those limits.

NO! You're wrong. If somebody cuts me off and I fear for my life, I can burn him and his family in their home without fear of consequences. Fo' real.. trust me, I know!
