"I did not know what the best thing to do was."

Huh? I'd expect someone licensed to carry would be a bit more competent than that.

Isn't this one of the main pro-gun talking points, that such folks are skilled, trained, wise enough to be trusted with the responsibility, etc.?

Sounds like this guy was in over his head. I mean, it's good that he apparently was trying to think things through while in a tight spot.

But that sort of thinking has to be done in advance, no? Scenario planning, role playing, a better understanding of how the law applies in various situations...

This guy needs a lot more training, it appears, before he can become a Shining Example of the Joy and Beauty of Going Around Armed With a Handgun.
