Remind me to carry as I get older.
I’m trying to figure this out. Why didn’t the cops prevent this violent crime? I don’t understand it.
Why are these old timers walking around without protection?!?!?! Just stupid!!
I don’t here, but it may come to that.
But if it does, there are a lot older fellow I have as neighbors. Some of them still shoot pretty well.
Good thought 2. I’m older and have carried for many long years. I keep up on my State’s current laws concerning the defensive use of a firearm in a lethal force situation. I also live up in the mountains so it is just a trip outside my front or back door to practice shoot, present from my holster(s), movements etc. which I do about 3-4 days a week which is a nice deal. If I do make it down to the ‘big town’, (maybe once every 6 months), I still carry and I always remember to keep the old eyes and head moving, looking, looking, looking. If something does not feel or seem right it probably isn’t as that old saying goes. These kids are so strong and violent and they have no fear of any punishment if they are caught that a firearm presented at them is just about the only thing that will deter them. There was an older fella, a WW2 vet in Spokane Wa. that was beaten to death a few weeks back by a pair of kids. (I think he was 88 years old. He had no firearm, as far as I have read so far on him or in his car when he was accosted). He was defenseless against these punks. I know quite a few ‘80’s’ and it still surprises me when this sort of thing happens that while shooting the breeze about it at the local watering hole down in the nearest little no stop light town is that more than a few of ‘em state: “I don’t need no damn gun, I made it this far, nothing like that will happen to me”. (or some such feeling). So I do not know what the answer is.
