These masked thugs scare me. I am too old to run and too old to fight and so is my wife. I hope they leave me and my family alone.
Carry a gun.
Carry concealed, practice, be prepared to defend your lives and rights under God and The Constitution, stay alert. In other words, be an American and be ready to stand up and be counted. Be prepared and find/create a mutual support group of family, friends, neighbors.
Also, if you are able, move to a better area of the city, county, state, or relocate to another state. You are in my prayers.
Strike a Senior and charging gets enhanced...fines also
However, discretion is the better part of valor
If charged as a misdemeanor, you can face up to 364 days in county jail and $6,000 in fines. These are additional punishments on top of other charges you potentially may face, such as a battery or assault. If charged as a felony, you could be sentenced to up to four years in prison and fined up to $6,000. (typical...but each state is different)
That’s why there is an old saying...”Beware messing with old guys, they will just kill you.” They can’t fight and they are too old to care about prison so some oldsters will just shoot you! So if somebody messes with you to a point where you are afraid for life and limb...shoot them...if I was on the jury, I would never convict!
