Two would-be burglars kicked in the door of a 79 year old man's home. He opened fire on them with a .357 magnum. Both burglars have been hospitalized.

Good job old dude.

normally i hate old people, but i have to say, i like this dude! he's 79 and can STILL shoot people!

What about that 80-year-old guy in Melbourne who beat the shit out of a burglar? This guy did a fine job, but he was armed. That dude in Melbourne used his own strength!

Wasn't that the one who used to be a boxer?

Why do you "hate" old people? And how do you define "old?"

Just goes to prove you should not mess with us old farts. :D Another good reason people should own guns and know how to use them.

Absotively, posilutely! [ high fives ]

I'm personally rather fond of my Sturm-Ruger .45 semi-auto. :D

Its ok old guy, you do count as old ;)
:fluffle: love ya anyway :p

I consider a person old when they consider gravity a cruel joke, and/or need to wear Depends (TM) as they can't hold their shit in anymore. :D

Just remember, young grasshopper, Father Time won't forget you either. ;)

pwned

That's right, Eutrusca, you're first up against the wall!

Bwahaha, idiots! I'm glad they survived though. Now they'll have to live with the shame of getting totally owned by this dude. Major kudos to him for standing his ground and not taking crap, too.

It would have been cooler if he would have stood his ground using Throwing Stars and/or a pair of Numchuks!

Wow, that guy is fuckin' awesome. So was the guy in Melbourne. I hope I'm that cool when I'm an old fart.

This reminds me of the comedian that does the whole, "When I'm 90 I'm going to be doing 90," routine. How he's going to shoplift all the time and shit and get off by using the fact that he's old as an excuse. It's hilarious, wish I could remember his name.

Nicely done; protected his home, did so without killing either intruder and made a real ass of them in the process.

Humanity really needs to develop a non-lethal personal defensive weapon though. Crime would plummet if you could render an attacker unconscious with the press of a button. Plus, it'd be a far more productive use of defensive spending than all that bunker-busting bombs or depleted uranium shell stuff.

There is one. It's called Celine Dion!! :eek:

How very ... conflicted. :rolleyes:

I have a Browning 9 MM made in Belgium for the Nazi army. The Serial number on the gun, two clips, and holster match. My uncle got it in WW II and my aunt gave it to me when he died. I also have my dad's 38 that he carried when he was a policeman. Oh, and I keep them both loaded.

Heh! Thanks for the warning. I'll try to remember that the next time I visit OK. :D

Aww, look at the cute old guy getting all indignant :p
'tis ok Gramps;) Just lie down, take a nice nap, I'll prepare your medication for you, just relax, don't stress yourself :p

Ahh...I remember that. I have it somewhere as an .mp3 from Comedy Central Presents.

"Sir, do you realize you were going 90?"
".....I'M OLD!Now bugger off, I've got more stuff to shoplift"

:D

It's called the TASER.
Unfortunately they are only good for one shot...

But I guess we can go back to dressing like 17th/18th century pirates and stick 2 or 3 in our belt/sashes.


ARRR! Stickem up Maty! :p

LOL! That's it! That guy is so cool.

By the why, Colodia, you just officially earned my respect for knowing that.

[ grins evily, reaches for his Sturm-Ruger ]

I got yer "medication" right here, BOY!

:D

It's called the TASER.

Okay. A ranged and specifically targetted non-lethal personal defensive weapon then.

Seriously, if we spent as much effort on this as we did nuclear weaponry, we'd be sorted. Then there'd be no excuse for everyone not to have one, as the worst repercussions would be a huge mob of people lying unconscious for the police to deal with, and everyone would be blotted out of their heads half of the time anyway, so drug-related crime would fall too...

>_>;

Heh! Thanks for the warning. I'll try to remember that the next time I visit OK. :D

Eut, I know you would have the courtesy to knock on the door, and you are welcome anytime you are in this neighborhood.

Just remember, young grasshopper, Father Time won't forget you either. ;)Unless s/he kills him/herself!!! :rolleyes:

Ok, mean joke.

Kudos to the elderly! That proves they're not so powerless as they appear! It also gives me consolation that I didn't jump off the bridge that day in Macedonia! ;)

Right on!

I hope the home owner doesn't get sued for shooting the BnE's. Wouldn't suprise me if he did.

considering the fact that is was only one burglar, and he used to be a boxer, the guy in melbourne kind of had the same amount of danger as the guy with the gun
Now, come on. So he used to be a boxer. He was still 80 years old! How many 80yr olds do you think would still be fit/strong enough to defend themselves?
It's damn impressive.

Almost feel sorry for the mugger. At least the two burglars can say they were shot, but that mugger: He has to put up with being known as the guy who got his ass kicked by an 80yr old. Heh. I know I'd certainly be rubbing it in. If I worked at the local paper I'd definitely be publishing that fact as often as possible.
