I saw this a while ago. An old man doesn't fear death, he's come to accept what's inevitably around the corner. Those young guys sure do.

Victory: Old man.

Looks like the old man shot at least one of them. Hopefully those wounds killed him.

We can only hope...

No wonder the store gun racks are bare in plenty of stores...

The rest of the story... Those guys showed up at the emergency room, for gun shots and arrested. Don't know what the judge gave them.

It was all in an old thread, here.

Good for the old guy. Guess this old guy, was not going to take any crap, from anyone. Yes he had guts, i too thought this was an older story, but again, good for him.

And again, good for the good guy once again.

Looked like he was using a .380 (common for that size of pistol). It is nice little pea shooter, though it shows how such a weapon can be lacking when you really need to stop someone. If he fired a .40, .45 ACP the guy wouldn't be getting up. Safer that way as if the criminal had any sort of determination, he would have shot back.

A good shooting is when the criminal doesn't get up... ever.
