It means that kimlangley is a ****.

And I finally watched the video, definitely too small caliber. That's a squirrel gun.

Did he shoot 5 times or 6? Well, in all the confusion I kinda lost track myself......

Excellent! Too bad the criminals were only wounded...

[Rusty Heap]

............while I applaud Grandpa for stepping out from the back row..........

for 1/2 - 1 second if you look close to the video one of the robbers had him in his sights with gun pointed at Gramps, and Mr Bad Guy with another 500 milli-seconds or with an itchy trigger finger could of also made this story a total different twist.


Don't get me wrong, Great for Gramps, but still getting killed over an "internet cafe" robbery(seems more like video slots, but who knows)........is a whole 'nother story.


If your life is threatened heck yah drop Mr Bad Guy, but Gramps came out of the back row and put himself in the line of fire.



Discuss.

No, it means kimlangley made a reference to Trayvon Martin

The elderly gentleman's wife was there apparently, and he did not want her hurt.

How do these guys get out on bail? Clearly they are a threat to the community. I bet their mothers say they are nice kids that would never hurt anyone.

Shot placement. even if he had a 10mm the thugs would have lived where the shots hit.

The kid with the baseball bat worked there till they canned him.

In my eyes Gramps Is SIERRA HOTEL X100

So can I drill you with a .380 from about 8 feet away then? I mean..it's just a squirrel gun, right?

[Bill Douglas]

Maybe the two 19 year olds had fake guns. That would explain why they didn't return fire, and why they got bail (not an armed robbery).

Gramps does a good job keeping his cool, kudos to him.

Mess with an old man's internet, $hit's coming down range.

Or worse, a dog groomer with Baz or the rest of the posters on the dog thread!

Using a fake gun is no lesser crime in the US.

Well, he shot them several times from close range and they didn't die, so I'm guessing this is not the weapon you'd want to take into the battlefield with you. If you hit someone in the heart or the brain or a major artery they are going to die I guess, but not before emptying their weapon into your neck. No thanks on that piece.

And FWIW, I own an old .32 SA pistol that is very cool but I consider it a "poker gun".

[Rick Lee]

I'm just not a .380 guy. If James Bond had really carried one of those, he'd have been dead before the second movie. A few yrs. ago that ammo was insanely expensive. Not sure if that's still the case. But those guns tend to have some kick too because they're made so small. Plenty of very concealable, easier-to-shoot calibers with more stopping power out there. I don't go below .40 for carry duty, except on rare occasions with a 9x18.

[vash]

i think any caliber you can shoot comfortably and reliably is a good round.

that old man probably was pretty comfy with that small pistol. whipping out a .45 is dramatic, and more effective..but not if he cant shoot it.

kudos to gramps. there is no questioning his ability to shoot at a live human. he didnt even hesitate.

[krystar]

attempted robbery with a bb gun is still an aggravated robbery with firearm charge.

if it looks like a gun and you were using it as a gun and the people you pointed it at thought it was a gun, it's a gun.

i had a kid try to rob me in parking lot with a bb gun. he still got charged as if the thing was a real gun.
