Armed 87-Year-Old Trumps Attacker With Violent Record
A 49-year-old male was out on personal recognizance after being convicted of battery. According to the female victim, the attacker “took off his shirt” and “made sexual advances to her.” When she rebuffed him, he “got upset” and assaulted her.
The victim, age 24 and pregnant, got away, took her 3-year-old daughter, and ran to her landlord’s house. The attacker pursued her, and again began assaulting her. The landlord, age 87, tried to break it up at first, to no effect. He finally got his handgun and shot the attacker twice.
Lieutenant Britt Snyder of the Chaves County, New Mexico Sheriff’s Department said:
“From the information that we’ve been given, we think it sounds fortunate that the landlord was armed in this case. He certainly would have been no match for a man that’s 40 years younger than him.”
Here’s a law enforcement professional who understands that the laws of physics and physiology trump political correctness.
Speaking about his gun control proposals, President Obama stated: “But if there’s even one thing we can do, if there’s just one life we can save, we’ve got an obligation to try.”
Mr. President, one handgun just saved three people. Stop trying.

God made all men, Sam Colt made all men equal.
Women and old men can equalize the odds of surviving with a gun. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
Liberals just can’t understand those simple truths.
Allow me to restate the doctrine.
The lie: “But if there’s even one thing we can do, if there’s just one life we can save, we’ve got an obligation to try.”
The truth: “But if there’s even one thing we can do, if there’s just one more way to confiscate the serf’s only means to resist, we’ve got an obligation to try.”
“Liberals just can’t understand those simple truths.”
I think you’re mistaken. Liberals do understand those simple truths. The heinous thing on their part is that they don’t care. When a criminal commits an act and the first response of gun-control advocates is to begin punishing the law-abiding these people are not morally confused: They are fundamentally immoral.
Keep in mind the left is on the criminal’s side.
I would rather be morally sound than politically correct.
Obviously the armed guy was more than a match for the punk perp. Give the armed guy a job as a study hall monitor.
