I am 71. At 71, you can’t fight your way out of a situation so you only have one choice if talk and deliberation don’t suceed, and that is to shoot your way out of the situation.

Youngsters shouldn’t be able to screw with us old guys and should learn better - one way or another.

I work with a lot of older men....many seem to have strength much longer than other attributes, like agility....I wouldn’t want to mess with them...

I hear you. At my age I ain’t risking “figuring it out”. Shoot until the threat is eliminated. Then we can figure it out.

Generally true, but I read that the actor, and marine, Gene Hackman dispatched two young bucks in a road rage incident when he was in his seventies.

When I was about 17 we had an old guy move to town, he was in his late 60’s. Still liked to fight and he could hand out a hot dish of whop ass in a heart beat. Got black listed in most bars. He had been a professional wrestler, boxer etc. some wise guy would start in on gramps trying to look good. Gramps would have enough at some point and that was it.

I agree. At 70 my mind says yes I can but the link to my once capable body has been hacked and overtaken by age. Thank God my trigger finger still works as will the cane or walking stick I might be carrying. Hang tuff, my FRiends. mc

If in this day and age if you are old (I am) and you don’t have an equalizer (I do) then you are stupid.
