The police said if the gun had been bigger, he'd be no more. He's in shock trauma with serious injuries. My adrenaline is through the roof. I'll put in a good workout in a few hours.
We live in Canada and have vacationed many times in the United States. This situation that you describe is why we are reconsidering where we vacation. There are many places in the world that don't have the gun culture that seems to put everyone at risk. I have never seen a pistol on a person other than a police officer until the spring. We were in a Walmart in Las Vegas paying for some things and a guy walked by with a gun on his belt. We were shocked and scared as we are not used to seeing guns or thinking that people are walking around freely with guns. The store staff said it was okay but it rattled us.
I hope that your brother is recovering - his is a very sad situation.1 -

CalgaryMac, thank you for taking the time to tell your story and provide encouragement to me. I'm very sorry that your time here caused you fear and feeling the need to rethink where you vacation. Unfortunately this gun culture is rearing its ugly head and the fatalities are devastating.
My brother is finally home. His speech, his ability to eat are impacted. The psychological impact will eventually ensue and it will be addressed.
I believe one's that live by the sword perishes by the sword.

Happy Monday kids. I woke up not wanting to lift this morning and then I saw the news where a 82 year old powerlifter roughed up an intruder. I got my 40+ year old butt out of bed and put two times the heart into my squats and deadlifts today.
I provided the link in case you want to read her account of the story.

“I picked up the table, and I went to work on him,” she said. ‘The table broke.”
I love this woman, and we should have more stories about older people who successfully defend themselves. They are a vulnerable population and this positive publicity is the best way to see them less frequently targeted for violence.1
