Some Folks Never Seem To Learn...!

Some day the fools that want to beat up on some older people, thinking them weak, will get the message.

Even though we don't have all the story, it seems to me that the younger guy in this story, who had a gun permit BTW, just took it for granted that the older guy wouldn't fight back! Bad decision!

Here's the story so far...

A 62-year-old man who stopped to help a couple on the side of the road Thursday evening in Southeast Bexar County ended up shooting the man he was trying to help after he was allegedly attacked, Bexar County deputies said.

A 31-year-old man and his wife had been traveling on FM 78 around 7 p.m. when their truck ran out of gas at Firestone Parkway, and the older man pulled over to help, deputies said. A dispute arose between the two men over how the husband was addressing his wife. Investigators believe the older man was assaulted before he fired his gun, likely in self defense, said Sgt. Blake Johnson with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.

The husband, who was shot in the shoulder with a revolver, was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in noncritical condition.

Investigators will be looking into the older man's use of force before making any arrests, said Johnson. The victim was said to have a concealed handgun license.

Now I know that many will say that the older gent should have just stayed out of the argument of husband and wife, but you have to understand that this is Texas and women being mistreated is NOT acceptable, especially by the old school crowd!

Now my thought is that since the younger guy had a gun permit, maybe he was reaching for a weapon and simply was beat to the draw! Whatever happened, many would be well advised to realize that a lot of older folks are packing now days...a LOT! Being older doesn't necessarily mean helpless anymore!Especially in Texas!

Coffee on the patio if you want some. Just check your guns at the back door, please!
