Elderly Man shoots at two robbers inside internet cafe
 
Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

Good stuff

ODStryker00 07-18-2012 12:13 PM

another reason for open/conceal carry laws :)

91civicZC 07-18-2012 12:28 PM

Yeah, awesome.

Quick grandpa, fire off some shots inches from that womans head in a crowded room. Great, cross that one off the list.

Now make sure you follow them, and fire a shot through an open door into the street. Did that too? Perfect.

Grandpas hand isn’t looking to steady there. So what happens when in trying to save the day good ol gramps empty’s a woman’s skull while trying to save the 50 bucks in his pocket?

Another reason why gun owner ship should be limited, and people with this level of common sense shouldn’t own one.

(Not sure if the video on CNN is showing what Im seeing, cant get it to work. Just watch “Elderly Man shoots at two robbers inside internet café” on youtube)

Harrowing moment elderly internet cafe-goer guns down two robbers and chases them out the door | Mail Online

AW607 07-18-2012 01:03 PM

Watching them bust their asses out the door once they see the old man opening fire was the best part

BaoTurbo 07-18-2012 01:09 PM

LOL@ that guy booking it when he saw gramps with a gun.

Traum 07-18-2012 01:24 PM

Seems to me like Grandpa totally knew what he was doing -- his firing stance looked good (esp given his age), he seems to be aiming for the non-vital lower body parts (the teens got shot at the leg, buttock, and arm).

There is definitely some fire left in that old man...

yray 07-18-2012 01:42 PM

gramps probably served in the army/marines

StylinRed 07-18-2012 01:53 PM

he was stupid imo, could have caused waaay more damage... Especially with those patrons on their feet caught in the middle... If you notice those guys unload their guns when they're outside.. You can see them firing into the store, luckily no one was hit

trollface 07-18-2012 02:10 PM

Way to escalate...

DanHibiki 07-18-2012 04:04 PM

he's lucky the robbers didn't fire back. lotta ppl woulda been dead

StylinRed 07-18-2012 04:12 PM

^^^ they did when they were outside you can see the glass bullet holes develop in the glass

bing 07-18-2012 04:18 PM

^'The gun was broken and rusty and wasn't loaded. Nobody was going to get hurt,' he told the paper; the plan was to 'barge in, get the money and leave.'

StylinRed 07-18-2012 04:27 PM

^^^ oh the CNN video doesn't show the full clip

check the one 1exotic posted in nsfw



@ 0:45 seconds after the old man shoots out the door you see those pufts (of broken glass im assuming) and the old guy steps back; could be wrong but certainly looks like it

What I mean was he's lucky he didn't fuck with the type of robbers who WOULD shoot back inside.

Nightwalker 07-18-2012 05:56 PM

I thought for a second that this happened in Canada. I was thinking, this guy is fucked now!

It was in Florida, gramps will be a hero. :)

No doubt.
He does it right, his first shot he took careful aim and squeezed one off. One cool customer.

It was fun watching panicked punks, gunshots = brown note

kuruuze 07-18-2012 07:27 PM

That grandpa took half a dozen shots at less than a 3 meter range and didn't manage to hit anything? :badpokerface: It's good that he had the situation under control but that aim.

Vansterdam 07-18-2012 07:39 PM

^ he did hit them noob

Mr.C 07-18-2012 08:03 PM

Handclap to grampa. If there were more people like him, there would be less punks running around trying to commit crimes against innocent citizens. Too bad the criminals are still alive.

Pooface55 07-19-2012 11:45 AM

I would buy that man a beer.

I wanna know why everyone else is standing up (lady holding ears). Get DOWN!!

Because people are stupid. Shots fired = down on the floor or behind cover or both.
