Since you sign a document that says you will abide by the company policy and failure to follow the policy can result in termination I would say he has no legal basis to file a wrongful termination suit. If a customer was wounded in the shootout then it would be them who would be suing. Just because you can hit a target on a shooting range does not mean you can hit something in the heat of the moment or when someone is shooting at you. Most likely innocent bystanders are going to get hit.
In this situation the man made a decision. Maybe because he had a gun he felt more powerful in the original confrontation that escalated it to a shootout. If he had complied according to policy maybe nothing would have happened. But having a gun may have influenced his attitude.
"If he had complied according to policy maybe nothing would have happened."
Incorrect....the perp fired at him, the gun jammed.
Should he have waited until the perp cleared the jam?
