JACKSONVILLE — A would-be robber got more than he bargained for when an 81-year-old Jacksonville man hit him "upside the head" with a frying pan.

Bobby Smith told officials he was working in his garden Saturday when caretaker Luvina Sones told him an intruder was in the house.

Why don't our politicians have the guts to face down the NFPA (National Fry Pan Association) and enact sensible fry pan control? Huh??
