I have an 80 yr old father in law who can outwork most anyone. Don’t be such a jerk.

Don't be so naive. There might be 6’2” 215# 80 year olds around who still work as carpenters and strap on a 1911 that they use at the range regularly, but there aren't many. And of the ones there are, they aren't going to be mystified about how to handle a gang rape - they're either going to leave and call the cops or suck it up and make some serious, loud demands to cease and desist - followed up by bullets.

There's a certain amount of serious lack of bullsh*t that would go with such an 80 year old man, and it isn't expressed by the timidity and ignorance of this OP. There's an old saying about such old people - don't try to fight them, they'll just kill you.

So don't be a jerk yourself. I don't like being lied to, and I say something when I think I'm being jerked around.

“There’s an old saying about such old people - don’t try to fight them, they’ll just kill you.”

A few years ago, I was working far from home, staying in a dodgy area.

At the equally dodgy “Night Spot” we went to, I made it clear during a rather boisterous conversation that I was 48, and couldn’t go 10 rounds with the punks anymore, so I’d have to end it in ONE, explaining that it likely meant serious bodily injury or death.

No one bothered me the during all of the weeks I was there....

You speak as though you are an expert.

How about you describe some of the unarmed and armed confrontations you have been in.

And you know you've been lied to here?

How?
