World War II Vet With 1911 Sends Home Invader Running For His Life

Post by Pawpaw »

This is exactly why we can't let them take away our gun rights!

How else would a 92 year old man be able to defend his home?

“I could have shot him right in the head between the eyes. But I didn’t want to do that. I would have been in trouble,”
If the cops didn't catch him, he will be back. Should have shot him between the eyes. And what kind of trouble did he think he would have been in if he did shoot him between the eyes? It's a wonder the thug didn't try to take the gun away from him. Shoot to stop, not shoot to warn.

Here's a CBS Los Angeles news report of the incident, with video.

There's not much new info here. You can just make out the roll mark in the video. It's a S&W 1911.
