81 and still packing heat...
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Sacramento police said an elderly man scared off would-be robbers inside his home when he pulled a gun and started shooting. Sacramento police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong said the two robbers were able to get inside the home of an 81-year-old man after asking to use his phone Saturday evening.
Though one of the men was armed, the victim was able to pull out his own gun when he was left inside a room where he kept the gun.
The two men fled when the elderly man started shooting through a door.
Police said the man, who was believed to be by himself during the robbery, was not hurt.
If I make it to 81 and still have all my marbles you can count on me exercising my 2nd Amendment rights.

It's a shame how the elderly are taken advantage like that. Glad this one showed them that old age doesn't have to mean defenseless. Too bad he didn't manage to shoot one of them in the ass. It would have been a nice souvenir for the robber.
you know my grandaddy had a CHL at 82+ and outshot everyone in his licensing class. I think my cousin got his pistol....
Mary Ellen, stories like this always remind me of one told about former boxer Joe Lewis. He was in Vegas, long past his prime but not yet incapcitated by a stroke. One night he was in a cab when two punks jumped in to carjack it.
"The Bronx Bomber" beat the shit out of them. Not bad for a man who was in his 60's at the time.
Old ain't dead.
Mighty Mom, his score probably came with lots of practice. Amazing how much of it you can accumlate in 82 years.
