Gun question

[birdmove]

I think often the young criminals that would seek out older gray hairs to pray on do so thinking the older ones will crumble and wilt at the threat of violence. They may not carry a weapon due to the escalating sentance they would get for using a weapon in comission of a crime (as mentioned in the website address from the previous message). Some of us gray haired geezers don't wilt and crumble in a crisis. And some of us think any lowlife that preys on older folks, and the weaker ones in society, are the lowest of the low. That includes your "white collar" lowlifes that bilk the elderly out of their savings etc.
If someone just turns to jello every time a thug wants to steal their money, then that is positive reinforcement to that thug and he will continue that behavior and prey on more people.
