Reilly came to the door armed and could be heard on the footage shouting at the driver to leave.

The delivery worker turned to comply and returned to his Toyota Corolla that was parked in the driveway.

The video sees Reilly firing a warning shot whilst yelling 'go!' before letting loose with at least two more rounds, one of which tore through the victim's car and into his body.

'He just started shooting at him,' a family member told reporters. 'He [the victim] thought his life was over.'

Incredibly, the wounded man managed to drive himself home, where he collapsed and was rushed to Garnet Health Medical Center.

He underwent emergency surgery and is now expected to require a second operation. Authorities say the injuries are non-fatal but potentially life-altering.

…probably means the victim is paralyzed, and they don’t know if he’ll recover.

Does that mean that his possession of the weapon/firearm became criminal the moment he threatened an innocent victim with it - or was it already criminal for some other reason (in which case, how could he be a "licensed firearms dealer" )? Or could it refer to other weapons and firearms that the police found once they came to arrest him?
