Good on the old fellow.
If this had occurred in the U.S.,the robber would have a gun,and more than likely,shot the old bloke dead.

The federal law requiring a five-day waiting period on gun purchases was part of the Brady Bill passed in 1993, and it expired in 1998. The waiting period was replaced by instant background checks at all licensed firearms dealers. The background check is performed by the FBI, is done over the phone, and usually takes only minutes. Thus, there is no waiting period required by FFLs any more. States can impose tighter restrictions.
Aodenkou's description of Indiana's gun laws, both for the selling of handguns and the issuing of conceal-carry permits, matches Oregon's to a tee. I purchased both my handguns without a permit, and without a waiting period. In both cases, I walked out of the store with gun in hand in under an hour. My conceal-carry permit was only slightly more challenging to obtain, but only because there were more administrative hoops to jump through, not because the laws restricted me from obtaining it.

I am so glad the judge didn't side with the lawyer BS about "a murder scene". Some lawyers are just plain scum.
Ha ha, ya.Love it.
Would have been nice if the old man showed the kid how to use the knife too, if you catch my drift.
Good on the old fellow.
No if this would have happened in the US the "old bloke" probably would have had a small armory in his home and the 23 year old *** would no longer be a drain on society.

Nope. Most burglars are looking for an easy, drama-free score, and break in when nobody's home. Getting beat up or shot is not high in their priority list. They are usually not armed. Many who could get their hands on a gun will sell it as soon as possible, to feed whatever habit fuels their thievery.
What's this talk about guns?
Throw yourself at the intruder with your straights, like real men do!
I agree. I personally feel gun laws are ridiculous. They typically just keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citicizens. Criminals go outside the lines and get their hands on them anyway. I go by the law and where I live they say it takes 3 to 6 months to get a permit (although some people I know said it took longer for them). I know some less-than-savory characters who could get me a gun if I wanted off the streets at anytime. Now if I was a criminal would I wait the 3 to 6 months or more or hit the streets and get one? This is why I don't like gun laws. All they do is make sure us law-abiding folk are unarmed when the criminals come through.
A priceless story!!
... on a serious note, this is a thread about some petty thief wot got 'is comeuppance, not about gun control. Sheesh.

And risk damaging the edge? I'd rather ruin a .40 cal round, much cheaper!

My thoughts exactly! Imagine if you ruined it, you'd be devastated!
That is an amazing comment and I can't agree with you enough. If someone were to break into my home, Id probably take the first thing I could find, be it a hammer, a baseball bat, whatever, and swing it with more force then I ever thought I could possibly muster, and that would be, without a doubt, enough force to kill.
In MN the law states that lethal force is not justified if the burglar is unarmed. My mom also told me (half in jest): If hes unarmed, just toss him a knife before you shoot him.
You americans are so trigger happy.
You should learn how to handle rocks, sticks, frying pans and enjoy the art of beating someone to unconsciousness with those items.

We Americans are also sue-happy. That just opens you up for lawsuits, and a chance for him to make up some BS about how he was just asking to use the phone. Best to stop the oxygen theft at the source. Two to the center of mass, one to the top of that same, worthless mass.

I believe you're wrong in regards to the CCW. Having a CCW is irrelevant in the case of a home invasion. If the shooting occurred in your house, most states will side with home defense. Proving the crook was harming you will probably have to be done and in some states is up to the police arriving at the scene to determine. If you're attacked outside your home and you have a CCW, then it's smart to lawyer-up and ensure that you were threatened before resorting to lethal force, unless you live in states that value freedom and believe in your inherent right to self-defense.
Judging by the mug shot the old man has a wicked right cross.
Wow, how does a thread like this come back from the grave two years later?
Three years later.
