Better off with just a bruised body than a dead one, right.
The security guard may detain a suspect pending the authorities arrival, but IMO he did the right thing in this situation. Even law enforcement officers (trained ones) dont really draw out thier guns unless they intend to use it and its always better to use cooler heads in diffusing situations like this rather than lock heads with an extremely agitated gun totting person. As saber rider said its a gas station, a gun may not be the only one to go off if a fire fight insued.
