I would love to know how much training he has taken over the years, if any. I hope I can still pull the trigger at 71.

I bet he doesn't shoot USPSA either....but that'd just be speculation.

Like Tom said in another thread a while back, if you read many accounts of SD shootings (such as in American Rifleman) the overwhelming majority are oldsters and regular folks who never in a million years expected to be involved in a shoot-out....but won because they A) had a mindset to not be a victim, and B) they had a gun.
I would gamble and bet that the ratio of folks in gunfights that are "well-trained" (non-LEO) versus the number that have never received any training (like the 60+ year old Alabama lady a few years ago) would be way off level.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

To some extent the lack of knowledge might even be an advantage.
A skilled knowledgeable shooter is aware of the seriousness of the situation, and the forces they are about to unleash.
The total neophyte only thinks "make it stop".
It comes back to mindset.

Interesting  how newz' reporterz' edit the video.

Here is a (I think) unedited version.... thought the outcome still the same.

Is it just video angles or do I see a major screw up on the part of the old guy ?
It appears that he engages the robber with the pistol who moves closest to him while ignoring the robber with (what appears to be ) the shot gun who had moved off the lower left of the screen.

Tom the other guy had a baseball bat and it looked like he was the first one out the door once the shooting started
