Elderly father wants to carry

[oli700]

KT PMR 30.

30 rounds of low recoiling 22mag in light pistol.

Just an option

22mag, very under rated
I think if the PMR is reliable its an awesome choice ....Kel Tec just pisses me off, how can a company have so many killer ideas and just not execute ?

 

[RedOBXT]

a good thing ?

Only her attitude, not her physical capabilities.

 

[oli700]

got ya , i'm a little slow

 

[Bobster]

totally

I'm kidding around here... I KNOW the AR is certainly capable for personal defense--fill it with blanks and the flash and concussion will give a home invader a heart attack!

I think Red would find a 500 Youth 20ga to be the gun he is looking for... Although he DID ask about a handgun...

 

[RAMBO]

He is 81, but very physically fit. But let me put it this way: I won't ride in a car while he is driving.
Mom is 80, I actually trust her more with a shotgun

REDOBXT, IM 79, WILL BE 80 THIS COMING DEC. I HANDLE GUNS, AND SHOOT BETTER NOW THAN WHEN I WAS 30.
A RUGER LCR 38 PLUS P, MAKES A GREAT POCKET GUN. GO TO A GUN SHOP, LET YE DAD SEE WHAT HE LIKES.

Rambo~~~

Attaboy!!!!!!!

There you go.

If he is not going to be trusted to function well with a true firearm, consider a TASER Pulse

Good stuff.

But if he can actually cope with a firearm...

Maybe a North American Arms will satisfy his itch without being too dangerous in the neighborhood

or a Taurus light polymer .38-Special (which will at least retain its usefulness later on)

I think the taser is very good advice, Niteside.

I think I've said it before, but his hearing is the main issue.

 

[nitesite]

The TASER might allow him a feeling of empowerment against encroaching threats that he perceives. He just can't practice with it.

Think about it, my friend. It may just be the answer you are seeking.

Well I'm glad he isn't 65 and called "elderly" . Gets me when I see "An elderly man/ woman fights off intruder" and you find out the "elderly man / woman " is 65

[Scoop]

Norm, is it OK to say "elderly" if you're 115?

 

[Norm]

I'd say so and then some

AT 79 YOU CAN CALL ME ELDERY IF YE WANT TO, BUT DONT PULL ON SUPER MANS CAPE.
