I recently saw a news report out of Minnesota about an elderly couple who overpowered a masked intruder who was trying to rob them in their home. The bad guy quickly found out that he had chosen the wrong house to rob when the couple fought back and sent him packing. A quote from the story reminded me why you never mess with older people. The World War II veteran told WCCO-TV that he was “damn near 92 years old. So, I’ve lived my life. He’s got his ahead of him, and it might not be too rosy, you know?” While this couple won the fight, and I’m so proud that they did, I can’t help but wonder what could have happened if the intruder had been better armed. I also wonder what would have happened if the couple would have had a gun handy. In either case, it would have benefited them to have a gun for home-defense. Today’s seniors watched the world change around them, and were an integral part of history as it was being made. They deserve to be respected rather than attacked, and I wish I could buy them all a gun.
