…..Hooray…..
I'm thinking the shooter might be in a bit of hot water.

Naturally.
I'm no lawyer, but I don't see the problem. But it could have been worse - at least he wasn't holding a pack of Bud Lite.
I don’t see anything that would suggest he’s in hot water. ????
To remind you, the 9/11 plane hijackers only had box cutters. No, not a threat to life and limb at all.
Would have you thought differently if he'd had a 3-inch pocketknife? A 4-inch paring knife? A meat cleaver? What is the acceptable standard for defining a cutting tool as a deadly weapon?
This part has me thinking he might...notice I said might, and that I think he might...not that he will.
"The customer, who has a valid concealed carry permit, told police he couldn’t see what was in the robber’s hand, but he could see the look of fear on the clerk’s face."
A look of fear aint much to go on, as far as he knew at the time he pulled the trigger, the perp might have been holding a pack of M&M's. At least thats how its being reported, and what I based my comment on.
Good grief...you could have asked what I based my opinion on before this.

I think most of America has too many Government Attorneys and Prosecutors. They want to get on the television and make a name for themselves at the expense of the taxpayers.

If he went to his car to get a fresh magazine and then stood over the guy and popped him in the head, then he would be in trouble. Based on what I've read, I think he's gonna be OK.
Looking forward to seeing how the DA handles this case. In some jurisdictions, the customer would get prosecuted while the robber walks.
You can watch the video here:

This was released 44 minutes ago. Looks like the customer won't face charges.

That's a public DA who doesn't want to commit to a position in a public forum. That is a boiler plate response and I'll bet there will be no charges in the end.
I'm thinking, "Well done!," but that customer needs to spend some more time at the range.
And suddenly the time spent practicing "The Six Pack Stance" pays off.
The gentleman looks like this wasn't his first rodeo. Bet his heartrate didn't increase 1 beat.
I'll have to get me a 6 pack and practice. Perhaps there's a modified 6 pack stance that'd work better.

Good grief . . . you could have stated what you based your opinion on at the time. Now that that's all clear, the shooter once again demonstrates to the to not blab to LE.

One need not be factually correct, although it helps. They need to be reasonable. Given the observations the shooter could make and describe, one would have to be a blithering idiot to not conclude that there was a robbery in progress.
Most lawyers (including prosecutors) don't know a darned thing about use of force. I doubt my class spent more than 2 hours on it during Crim Law 1, and the nuances of use of force and tactics of encounter likely hundreds of hours of study to have a sufficient grasp.
