RAPID CITY, S.D. - Police said a 71-year-old man, armed only with an ice scraper, frustrated a 20-year-old would-be robber who approached him with a knife. Police said the man was scraping ice off his car Friday when the 20-year-old pulled out a knife and demanded money.
Police Sgt. Pete Ragnone said the man used his ice scraper to fend off the attacker , who then ran to his girlfriend's home nearby.

I’m sorry. I got stuck on the little detail that it’s mid-March and the guy still needs to scrape ice.

How about Peter LaGana’s Tactical Tomahawk (VTAC)? I keep one in the car. Have also sent one to a friend in Afghanistan.

That said, I'm a 62 year old newlywed (I married a 63 year old FOX) and lovin' it. Like the hippies used to say in the sixties.....better living through chemistry!
