Sad...

The employee and the store both did the right thing.

that store deserves to be robbed

He wasn't fired for defending himself. He was suspended for bringing a gun to work, something he is not contractually allowed to do.

I can't fault for the store for doing this because they open themselves up to litigation if they do not follow their policy.

I can, however, fault the store for either not providing their employees with protection or allowing them to protect themselves because they are working in a high risk environment - ie. change the damn policy...

I got robbed once when I was working in a 7-11 as a part time second job a long time ago.
Not happening again....

Do the 7-11 stores still exist?

Yup, put up some safety glass so he can at least stay out of harms way.
He was in his right to shoot, Mr. Robber should consider himself lucky.
