The victim shooter needs a Go-Fund-Me for more ammo.

Are they hoping to cover the lost "income" from the robbery? How much does the average 71 year old man carry, maybe $40 or $50? They should be able to cover that pretty easily.Ed4032 wrote:The family already has a GoFundMe page to cover their loss.

Otherwise known as disparity of force, and age can certainly come in handy when invoking that defense.Pawpaw wrote:Don't mess with an old guy. He's too tired to fight you and too old to take a whoopin', so he'll just kill you.

What was it Al Capone said?

Something like that.

Something like that.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Guess it is about money instead of demonstrating good moral character for your children.
I can't even look.

But age is a valuable "card" when justifying disparity of force.Mike S wrote: I know a couple "70+ year olds" that would be offended by being referred to as "elderly men". Danged good shooters, too!
I'm 57, which isn't old in the strictest sense, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it as a defense.
