ggjon: 1. But he did engage and kill him did he not? Wouldn't that make him a good guy with a gun who stopped a bad guy with a gun?

Specious reasoning, since gun control efforts would applaud the Canadian policy here, and even have applauded had the guard been carrying his pistol - since he was a guard.
He was a good guy who was not carrying a concealed pistol, who thwarted a bad guy after the fact of the murder.
His gun was in a lockbox in his 'home' at work, & proved efficacious enough.
