I think one good way to take out an aggressor who gets too close and doesn't pay enough attention is to stomp the knee backwards. First, you must get your hands onto the gun, to control the muzzle direction, then stomp your full weight onto his knee. It seems to me that a lot of humans live very much "in their head," and often aren't paying attention to the lower half of their own body. A person holding a gun is especially focussed on the weapon, on the upper half of their body -- not expecting to have their knee crushed backwards. At the moment when the shotgun went one-handed, had the clerk grabbed the gun (enough to control it) and stomped the guy's knee backwards, things would have turned out very different. Keep in mind, to accomplish this, it is important not to "telegraph" your move. Make the guy think you are completely focussed on the weapon, and that is what will open the window for the knee stomping.
