Interesting situation. Of course, nobody knows what they might do in a hypothetical situation, but I don't think I would have done what the Good Sam. did in that situation, whether carrying or having a gun in my car.
Unless it was my wife or child in the store, I would have (I think) removed myself to a safe place, and called 911. If I was in the store and carrying, then perhaps I would act differently. The way I see it is that I am not the police. I have a gun to protect me, my family, and to some degree my property. In today's sue happy society, knowingly entering a store that has armed people in it, could result in a situation where I would be unable to, or could not afford to protect my family (in jail, or major legal bills...).
I see many ways that could have gone bad for the Good Sam., hopefully it won't.
