A 73-year-old concealed carry permit holder shot a 22-year-old suspect three times Thursday morning in Fresno, California, after the suspect allegedly attacked the permit holder with a stick. Your Central Valley reports that the permit holder was taking his normal, early morning walk along a canal when the suspect approached and a “verbal confrontation” ensued.
Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said the confrontation escalated when the suspect allegedly “picked up a large stick or wooden object” and struck the 73-year-old. The elderly man pulled a handgun and shot the suspect three times in response.

Elderly and senior are a legal definitions.
From 55 to 65 you are considered a senior.
If you beat up or hit a senior, it is a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine.
Over 65 and you are legally considered elderly.
If you beat up or hit an elderly person, it is a felony and you go to jail for up to 15 years.
“Seems a perfectly appropriate response! I’m pretty sure I’d still be shooting the feral little bastard.”
“Why did you shoot him 6 times?”
“I ran out of ammunition.”
“This headline is discriminatory! I am 77 and don’t consider myself elderly.”
Same age as me but my caved in right foot thinks I am elderly. Otherwise not. My trigger finger works good as ever as does my left hook.
I'm early fifties and recently was offered a senior citizen discount on an oil change. I took it!
Now I make sure I look as old and decrepit as possible when I'm anywhere that might offer me a discount. Joke's on them! I run marathons!
To old to take a beating, to tired to run away.
So I will just shoot you dead, and go on my way.
Isn’t it county by county depending on the sheriff?
“If you beat up or hit an elderly person, it is a felony and you go to jail for up to 15 years.”
I’m “elderly”. But just hypothetically...of course..what is the law if I break a few facial bones of an “elderly” democrat?
Because The Fresno Bee is fake news. Only reports what they want you to see.
Hopefully Sheriff Mims will issue more CCW permits.
We need to 'do more' with that information...
Fresno has a wonderful sheriff. She wants to work with ICE. She sees what is happening to our country.
Ditto!..I am 84.5 and don’t consider myself elderly.
Would certainly take the opportunity to shove a mugger's/robber's weapon up the his rectal passage...or down his throat...His dirt nap would be the primary goal...
I’m voting to secede. Then move as fast as I can. :)
Thats an indication of the extent of voter fraud.

Yep. It’s also an indication that the GOP has purposely failed, and how Trump won.
Thats not smartass...makes perfect sense to me.
In county jurisdictions. It's the police chief in cities.
I suspect some crimes are foiled by ccw folks without even touching their gun. Their demeanor and alertness make criminals consider softer targets.
