Since when is 60 years old , elderly?
Or 63?
The feel-good stories of the month!
I thought the same thing. I’m just a couple months from 60, if anyone calls me elderly I’ll beat them with my walker.
Or 64? Hell I pee more then ever now!
That all depends (no pun intended). I feel young mentally. Physically, well, that’s another story. Decades of work in wood products mills, and subsequent work on rivers, creeks, and at sea have me pretty wore out, not to mention the broken bones and arthritis. The cancer didn’t help either. I’m pushing 59, and feel like I’m 70. At the Local Kroeger store, I went to purchase an AR 15 on sale, and was happily surprised to find it was senior day, and I got an additional hundred bucks off! I’m not complaining. How’s that for a short answer? 🙂
Don’t you just love happy endings?
Every time a citizen defends him or herself with a fire arm makes the rest of society safer.
My BIL is 60 … he’s the “kid.”
If they aren’t already, they soon will be Ocommie supporters. So they should be given a dose of sharia law.
I’m developing a severe case of the “warm fuzzies.”
Being 60+ is the new forty. I’m 62 and in reasonable health and I don’t feel like I’m that old. I still feel like I’m a lot younger although my daughter thinks I’m getting to geezer status because I have a tendency to tell the same old stories over and over like my 86 year old Dad and my late Father in law. And I have old guy syndrome, I pee a lot more than I used to. Old guys and gals rule!
Friggin millennials think they know everything. 60 is prime time.
$100 for “free” ammo ?
and an angel gets it’s wings…
Elderly is 15 years older than me, regardless of what year it is.
You can buy an AR15 at the grocery store? Where do you live – Afghanistan?
Its wings.
At 60, I am middle aged.
There would be far fewer crimes like these if the retaliation was given more coverage.
Most people, criminals included, think people fighting back is rare, or doesn’t exist.
60 is elderly?!?! Jeeeeez.
Hey, I’m just getting started at 60!
I agree with you all. I’ll be 60 next April. I just about shat myself learning that I will be “elderly”.
Ok, I watched the report. The guy had an oxygen mask. Thats what made him “elderly”. I feel better now.
To add to this: Since I retired (I am currently 65) I once again took up the game of bowling. I now bowl better than I ever did in my ‘prime’, carrying a solid 197 average, and give my 30 something son a real run for his money! Elderly indeed!!
April 5th by any chance, that’s when I hit 60.
17th
Did you all notice that neither the video nor the printed story mentioned the name of the perp. No photo either. Hmmm.
Close enough, I’ll try to remember to toast to you. Right after I toast to myself that is.
This story is 3 years old but still one of my personal favorites and he actually qualifies as elderly – 92 year old WWII vet kills intruder with one shot from a .22 rifle.

It’s a top secret location where they also have an automotive section, a garden center, and a sporting goods section. They always have a great selection of “popular” firearms. There’s a pharmacy, bank, jewelry store, eye glasses place, and a florists shop. Unfortunately Starbucks is there as well. Now that you mention it, Kroegers welcomes gun owners, but Starbucks does not. Hmmm? Most folks don’t call it Kroegers here, but I guess they do, way east of here on the North left coast. “Fred Meyer”.
Oh yeah, I sold that gun.
