    Default Octogenarian shoots intruder

    This was in today's (jan 27) issue of "The Valley Independent", a very small paper in based in Monessen. Excellent example of use of a firearm by a private citizen to defend his property. Paper could have done a better job researching that on a gun that old, that's not being concealed, there is no permit or registration required. Paper tends to be a little liberal like that.

    Stowe is near McKee's Rocks, which is south of Pittsburgh, for anyone not from this area.

    Best part is the shame the perp will have to face when the other guys in lockup find out he got shot by an OLD old man!

    Hey bloom,

    No big deal, but another thread describing this new article was already posted here not long ago:

    I'm going to close this thread so that we can keep the discussion on this topic in one place.
