I'm getting older and have some physical issues. While I still think I'm competent in many ways , I realize that I can't win a prolonged fight. So the training they gave me when I was uniformed is out the window. Don't hit above the shoulders. I'll dam well hit an attacker where ever i can to stop the atrack the fastest . If the baton/wrench strike kills him or causes major injury, too bad. Fighting to survive.

I pray I am never involved in a physical fight. At 57 with two bad knees, half an artificial shoulder joint and degenerative disc disease I am afraid I would get my ass kicked. Rest assured I will not fight fair. I will bite chunks of flesh off someone if I have to.

At 75, with fused spine, two knees replaced, and progressive degenerative osteoarthritis in both hands, (thanks to baseball, the heavy bag, the foundry and machine shop) the last thing I will worry about is "fairness". Disparity of force. A thirty something thug comes at me, I'll use what is at hand (and what is at hand will be .355 diameter or larger and moving at or above the speed of sound). Interesting article in the new American Handgunner about 122 pound Doc Holliday's last fight.

I was confronted by an enraged employee a couple years ago. all I could think was boy this is going to hurt. luckily he backed off. only weapon I had was a tape measure. I would have used it as long as I was able to. which probably would have been about 30 seconds. now my 1911 doesn't leave my hip. God made man, John Browning made them equal.

If "fair fight" is not an oxymoron then there is no such thing as an oxymoron.

I walk with a cane, thanks to a motorcycle wreck 6 years ago that nearly took my left foot off. The bottom three inches of the tip are poured full of lead. Hopefully, that will buy me enough time if I'm assaulted to draw and fire if the guy who is attacking me doesn't get the message to back off. Jerry

If I get in a scuffle the last thing I'm going to worry about is if he can have sex again.

All this goes with the other side of picking at old timers, I remember what my Gramps told a bunch of my friends and I one day horseassing around the barn. Boys! get over here and pay attention! You all get out fu-king around like I know you do, remember one thing, don't be fu-king with old men, he cant fight you, likely he hasn't done a damn thing to you anyway, everything he has hurts, his Wife of 50 years may have just up and died, he may be tired of living anyway, you bother him, HE WILL KILL YOU IF HE CAN! you hear me!!!!! Yes Sir, we said. An old Army 41 year retired Sergeant Major has a way of speaking to young idiots in a way you'll never forget.

The one thing I remember my father telling me when I left for the Army was don’t ever mess with an old man unless you want hurt or killed. It wasn’t my nature to mess with people anyway but for once I took his advice and followed it. At 47, I’m beginning to understand what he meant, lol.
