Don't know when or where this happened. Link was sent to me by a friend. This guy appears to have been very trained and ready though. Idiot tries to rob gun store - receives instant justice GIF | Create, Discover and Share on Gfycat

I swear, that made me so darn happy, I may have teared up a bit!

Criminals look for men and women with white hair. Think they will be
easy marks. BIG MISTAKE!

A while back we had a senior citizen local Coin Dealer who fought back during an attempted robbery.

Good show. Uncle Jeff would be proud! Proper use of Weaver, good control, kept his head, and most importantly, he was on Condition Yellow, identified the threat, and went from Yellow to Orange to Red seamlessly, maximized the distance between he and the aggressor, used the sights and was able to win even though the aggressor already had his pistols out. Excellent!

Austell Georgia, several weeks ago. Don't ever assume white haired people are easy.

Looks like the shop owner had a 1911, and hit and neutralized robber #1 on the first or second shot.

Also, the shop owner pulled his weapon and engage robber #1 while a support column visually shielded him from robber #2, briefly making it a one-on-one confrontation. Plus, rather than keeping his focus on his would-be victim, robber #1 is distracted trying draw a second gun, and so lost the initiative. Due to his good shooting skills, this was all the shop owner needed to quickly even-up the odds, at which point, robber #2 decides its time to heck get the heck out of Dodge.

... At which point, robber #2 decides its time to get the heck out of Dodge.

Probably the best decision he ever made in his dumb donkey life.

Under the "Just For Men" mine is a bit grey also.

Too bad he couldn't drop the 2nd perp also.

They brought the backpacks to load up the handguns in.

Only stupid junkies rob for cash,forgetting almost all sales these days are with plastic.

Proper use of Weaver...

Excuse me, I'm not trying to be argumentative here, but isn't he shooting from an Isosceles, rather than the Weaver?

Regards,

Like I have been hearing for decades, "A young man may kick your butt, but an old man will kill you".

Like I have been hearing for decades, "A young man may kick your butt, but an old man will kill you".

Jimmy Groover, the owner of the Dixie Gun and Pawn in Georgia (where this took place), isn't exactly what I'd consider "old". He's only 64-years-old...not even "officially" a senior citizen. And he appears to be in pretty good physical condition.

And unlike lots of people who like to gloat and laugh over a bad guy getting killed, Mr. Groover continues to say he regrets having to make the split second decision to shoot someone. He isn't going around bragging about it. But his store has been robbed or burglarized twenty times in the past years, and he did what he had to do to protect himself and his employee.

He's quoted as saying, "I had no other choice. I hate that it happened. I've been doing this for thirty years. Nothing like this has ever happened. I never wanted this to happen. But I want to go home at night, too."

He seems like a decent human being, and I'm glad he survived the incident so he could go home that night.
