#1 Gun Rule
#1 GUN RULE
'Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you.' The 71-year-old retired Marine who opened fire on two robbers at a Plantation, FL , sub shop late Wednesday, killing one and critically wounding the other, is described as John Lovell, a former pilot for two presidents. He doesn't drink, he doesn't smoke, he works out everyday. Lovell was a man of action Wednesday night. According to Plantation police, two masked gunmen came into the Subway at 1949 N. Pine Rd. Just after 11 p.m. There was a lone diner -- Lovell, who was finishing his meal. After robbing the cashier, the two men attempted to shove Lovell into a bathroom and rob him as well. They got his money. But then Lovell pulled his handgun, opened fire, shooting one of the thieves in the head and chest and the other in the head. When police arrived, they found one of the men in the shop. K-9 units found the other in the bushes of a nearby business. They also found cash strewn around the front of the sandwich shop according to Detective Robert Rettig of the Plantation Police Department. Both men were taken to Broward General Medical Center, where one, Donicio Arrindell, 22, of North Lauderdale died. The other, 21-year-old Frederick Gadson of Fort Lauderdale is in critical but stable condition. A longtime friend of Lovell was not surprised to hear what happened. ''He'd give you the shirt off his back, and he'd be mad if someone tried to take the shirt off your back,'' he said. Lovell worked as a pilot for the Marines, flying former Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. He later worked as a pilot for Pan Am and Delta. Lovell is not married and does not have children. He is not expected to be charged, authorities said ''He was in fear for his life,'' Rettig said. 'These criminals ought to realize that most men in their 70's have military backgrounds and aren't intimidated by idiots. The only thing he could be charged with is participating in an unfair fight. One 71 -year old Marine against two punks. Two head shots and one center-body-mass shot - good shooting! That'll teach them not to get between a Marine and his meal. Don't you just love a story with a happy ending? (Florida law allows law-abiding citizens to carry a concealed weapon.) Semper Fi

Great article Val.
Did you read the one today about the 52 year old sex offender that was killed by the 64 year old father of a 17 year old girl. The sex offender entered the house through a window and was ONLY wearing a mask and latex gloves. He was carrying a knife and condoms. When he went into the 17 year old's room, the girl screamed and that is when the father came rushing to the scene. He ended up choking the sex offender to death, or they think the sex offender might have had a heart attack during the struggle. The article ends stating that it was a lose-lose situation because both men had family. Guess what, it was a lose-lose situation as soon as the guy decided to break into the home of somebody else.
