I love stories like this, and NO gun was involved, call him tough or call him crazy, the BG LOST.
Man, 71, fends off young robber with ice scraper
Mar 17 02:20 PM US/Eastern
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - 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.
That's when a fight broke out between the 20-year-old and his girlfriend.
The would-be attacker surrendered to police and faces charges of attempted first-degree robbery and aggravated assault-domestic violence.

Old age and experience always overcome youth and skill (youth and dumb-ass, too). ;)

"...what!?! You mean to tell me you didn't bring back no cigarettes? You'd better git yo ass back out there and git me some damn cigarettes! And don't forget to bring back beer this time..."
No wonder he surrendered to the police.
