A .380 just isn’t enough!

9mm would have been better.

Grandpa did GREAT!!!!

First and foremost, he brought a gun to a gunfight.

The “nothing smaller than a 4 crowd (self included) may complain, but he had a gun, he could shoot it (and apparently hit), and frankly pistol calibers are notoriously bad fight stoppers.

Grandpa SHEEPDOG did some things that gave him and edge though (with age, wisdom...).

Back to the wall behind a computer on the end of a row.

Good view of the door with concealment at least.

Waited till zippy the hoody was within good pistol range but looking away (only real close call was as zippy was swinging his jammies around).

Moved after the draw (gun was out) in a straight line

got low as zippy was swinging back.

Most telling to this armchair observer.....

HE KEPT MOVING TO THE FIGHT. He stayed engaged until the threat was no longer a threat. Technique discussions aside, he won the fight by being the better MAN!

Back to the arm chair

Gotta love that prepared man!

Darn shame he was arrested. He’s out on bail. Good community service should be rewarded!

The only thing he did wrong is he didn’t kill them. Took enough shots but missed. He should hit the range.

Combat? Dunno ‘bout that. All I saw was a great American defending himself and his fellow citizens from some garbage. Well done, and great shootin’!!!

To stop shooting as they retreated would be inviting a “parting shot”.

I’m afraid for this good citizen’s future. The number of crimes he will be responsible for having prevented will grow forever. Message to bad guys: you never know who has a gun and will use it.

I wish I could serve on any juries judging him.

LOL He really made them scramble!
So funny when one fell out the door and another one ran over him.
Were they Holder’s people?
Couldn’t see much because of the hoodies and masks, but the hands looked like they were.

That old fart did very well.

I wouldn’t have taken that last shot out the door, but as long as that POS was in the building-in control of a gun that he had already pointed at innocent folks, the gun fight was still on.

That old man saved innocent lives by his actions.

Too bad the bad guys aren’t dead.

Let’s keep an eye on what happens to this fine old fellow and make a collection if he has any legal troubles.

Personally, I would like to buy him a beer... or a whole keg...

Excellent.
At 32 seconds in the video you see him (Good guy-GG) rolling his chair out and at 33 you can see his gun is already drawn
At 34-35 seconds he is rapidly approaching the Bad Guy (BG1) initial from behind, BG1 spins and sees him coming with drawn gun and BG1 starts moving and a shot is fired.
At 36 seconds BG1 is sprinting and lady by stander is now covering ears (obviously 1st shot has already taken place)
At 37-38 seconds you see him take another shot at BG1 (now off camera) or possibly BG2 standing in the corner
At 39-40 a new angle as BG1 is falling (shot in hip/leg?) Notice our GG had clear field of fire...no one behind BG1 or BG2 at this point. BG2 is in corner and follows BG1.
At 42 you see GG coming into camera view following BGs with gun at ready
At 43 you see him take a shot with a second at 44.
Camera angle swithes and you see these last two shots again in the door way.
Way to go good guy!

10mm. Hornady 180gr XTP. 15 rounds.

There wouldn't be an arrest report. Just a coroners receipt.

Dang proud of this citizen. He done good. Also looks like they have a DA with common sense not looking to gain 15 mins of fame on the bones of an innocent man.

If Obama had two sons they could look like those two criminals.
