My permit is enough id. Mr. A was in the wrong for chasing the bandits into the parking lot and firing at them. The threat was over when they exited his store. Feel bad for him, but he was a victim of a robbery and also his own stupidity. Plus anyone yahoo can buy a id badge, or pouch or even fraudulent police items ie caps, vest etc, so having such an item is no guarantee you are a good guy. When an officer points his gun at you and tells you to drop yours, you had better do so ASAP. Common sense should have told Mr. A to drop his gun and later explain himself to the police, when they no longer felt threatened. Pouch would have made no difference.
