I hope he was ready to go at that age!
+1. A bullet doesn't care how old or young the trigger finger that squeezed it off is. It just does its thing.
One of the old timers told us about going on a call with an old man like that. He came out on the front porch with a .22 revolver and started shooting at them point blank. They dove off either end of the porch. The old man was cussing them the whole time and walking to the other end of the porch to shoot his partner when our guy shot him in the back with a .357 magnum. The old man said "Ow!" Turned around and started shooting at our guy instead. He got shot again in the knee and the partner still had to tackle the old off the front porch when he finally ran out of bullets. Nobody including the old man died. They put him in a nursing home after that and he would sit on the front porch and flip the bird at every cop car that passed.
Old people izz tough sometimes!
Bet a .357 to the back hurts more than clear out and a flash bang. I know I'd do more than say "Ow!" once and keep on doing what I was doing.

I have always detested the concept of speed cameras. Govt treats taxpayers as ATMs as it is. These things just stick it in a bit deeper.
By god, if you are going to ticket me, then hand it to me at the time, not a letter in the mail a week or so later.

There were speed cameras in one of my friends city. He and a group from his college took pics of all the city councilmen's license plates while they were meeting. Then they made fake plates on a school printer, taped them over their own plates and spent an hour or two blasting by every speed camera they could find.
The cameras were voted down shortly thereafter.

There is a stretch of rural highway near me that I drive regularly that has had an excruciatingly slow speed limit of 30MPH for a couple of years now. I am still trying to figure out the right approach of civil disobedience that would work to protest it. It is patrolled, no speed cameras are used. The safe speed limit is 45MPH, the same road goes up to 45 when it crosses the County line and there is no remarkable difference in the road between the two counties.
Over here, you get it in a month or two.
