So much for the myth in television and movies that you can punch people in the head and the consequences will be negligible.

I am a 70-year-old man, if some man 30 years younger than I am says he’s going to beat the crap out of me, medical science says that’s a life-threatening situation and I’m going to shoot him.

I know an older guy who nearly did exactly that. He was pushed and threated by a much younger suspect. They old guy pulled his gun and told the suspect he had big med issues, and was on blood thinners and would shoot him dead if he didn't back off. The suspect backed off and left the area.

Don’t mess with an old man. He will just kill you.
