60 Year Old Man Shoots...

[The Lone Haranguer]

I am always on high alert when going into or out of an ATM. At my bank they are inside the building, in a vestibule accessed by swiping my ATM/debit card, which can be locked behind me. Someone else can enter while I am using the machine if they have their own card, but it is improbable that a robber is going to have an account at that bank.

An alternative to using ATMs at all is to get cash back on your debit card when making a purchase in a store.

60 Year old man

Here we go , another Elderly man shoots punk! I'm almost 65 and still can shoot much better than people a third my age. It's all in how much you practice! The BGs never learn.

I've had 55 years of pracrice. I wonder how much practice the average street punk has had?

 

[W.E.G.]

There are lots of accounts of bullets riding under the skin and around the skull.

I was involved with a fella who was shot in the forehead with a 9mm and close range. Inny on the forehead and outie in the back. Band-Aid in the front, Band-Aid in the back. Sent home the same night of the shooting. It even got him out of having to go to jail.

That's using your head young man!

I might be old, but I'm mean. I've been there a few times and done "that" several times. I will not be triffled with.
Anyway, given my health, I'd be dead before the trial started. Therefore, that makes me the most dangerous man in the world: someone with nothing left to lose.
(Oh, everything is in the wife's name or a trust for the grandson.) Bring it on!

I'm with you Detachment Charlie. The older I get, the less likely I am to tolerate being abused. My kids are grown, my wife's finances are in order. I'm just not afraid of 20 something punks anymore. They have no power over me.

I guess he simply wasn't in the mood for any... monkey business.

Ice cream!

Tourist.

In that tradition, he died sitting up in bed eating a dish of ice cream drowned in whiskey.

I don't do much drinking, a couple of glasses of wine at supper with my Wife during the week.

But around ten years or so ago (62 then!) the absolute most spoiled I could get!! Vanilla Ice Cream in a dish, an oz or so of Whiskey Liqueur on it, Drambuie!!

Your Granddad had great taste!

ATM Machines, just during the day to move money about, Pauline plays with the keys, I just lean up.

Thats a good story...Its ashame what the world has turned into today.

Well, I am pretty sure that the world has been like this since day one... we just didn't have the news and the Internet to tell us all about it every single time it happens.

I'm glad the guy and his wife are ok... our CCW instructor told us that if we have to make a "kill shot" to aim for the eyes, nose and throat if possible since the skull can be tricky to penetrate.

I loved every word of that.

Old guys with bad attitudes,, ya!

Give me age, treachery, and experience, over youthful enthusiasm anyday

Be sixty tomorrow have a 30 inch waist and even if the arthritis is kicking up Ill keep up.

My favorite line to punks is ;
How are you going to explain to your momma that a sixty year old man beat your butt.
