Dude did just fine and likley was NOT his first rodeo.


Notice he waited for the opportune time to strike, when the gunmen were in an open position with little cover or bystanders obscuring them.

The old man broke from his seat with haste and had the gun in action immediatley. He pressed his attack quickly and aggressivley, following through the whole way and never relenting. The gunmen were taken 100% by suprise and they paniced, which is ideal. They had no idea what was going on and were NOT expecting any resistance.

The old man continued to press his attack until the two robbers were stumbling over one another out the door. He stayed low the entire way through his attack, continued to move through out the fight and scored hits on both his targets. While he failed to use cover, in this situation it was appropriate because he had denied the robbers the chance to regroup and return fire from a covered position of their own. All the gun fire was going in one direction: at the bad guys, and that is exactly the way it needed to be in such a crowded, confined space.

Despite using a .380, he neutralized the threat inside the store by making the robbers flee, unarmed and with some extra holes in them.
I applaud him, he did a good job, what sorta bothered me though was if you stop the vid around the 00:35 second mark, the bad guy's right arm, holding his weapon, is extended right at grandpa, at this point grandpa could've very easily taken a round or two, my position in this scenerio would've been to take my first shot just before this posture by the BG around the 00:32-33 mark in the vid, a 3-shot initial group to the head/neck area or aim a few inches below his right armpit when his arm was up, that would increase your chances of a good heart/lung shot....oh and I don't think I'd ever carry anything under a 9mm, unless it was a .22 (much less recoil, more control, remember, Shot Placement IS Key)
