Just another one of those incidents anti gun nuts claim never happen. It's to bad there are so many people (D) who would rather him be a victim in his own home instead of being able to defend himself.

'What's the point of having a gun if it's not loaded?' Elderly homeowner shoots intruder to death | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

An 84-year-old Pennsylvania man turned out to be a challenge for burglars after he fought two intruders who broke into his house. The Korean War veteran, who sleeps with a loaded gun under his pillow, killed one of the attackers with a single shot.

The elderly man, who happened to be former champion weight-lifter, then engaged in a fight with the second intruder, who managed to escape.

He shouldn't have the means to protect himself because it doesn't make leftists feel safe. Liberal feelings should come before peoples' constitutional rights.

So much straw in this thread I’m surprised it’s not on fire.

Something isn't adding up. Whatever.... he nailed the scumbag and the cops have no problem with it.
Where did it say he was 60?

It turns out the dead perp is his nephew-in-law which means the punk knew he was going to rob an 84-year-old man...well...until the old man turned the tables on him.

Good for him.

I guess that excuses the 10,000 homicides and accidental deaths, all worthwhile. You going to post each of these events without providing the downside.
