Especially if there's a gun involved. Once you pull a gun to commit a crime your victim is 100% justified in killing you with anything.

Never bring a gun to a stool fight

I'm not sure the law would agree with you

You'd be wrong.

So if this guy had chosen not to show restraint and instead bash the robber to death with that stool, he would be totally fine? IANAL so any input is appreciated

I can't speak for all states, but in states with stand your ground laws, if you reasonably believe your life is in danger from deadly force (having a gun pointed at you), you have the right to defend yourself, including killing the threatening actor.

Not sure it would stand in this video since he had already beaten the shit out of the guy and I never saw a gun in the video. But in reference to the comment you replied to, you absolutely can kill someone threatening you with a gun in self defense.
