    Love this story. Who robs the people who've been trained to kill?

    that is great that they took care of this guy. This also says that it may be a great idea to count large amounts of money in a more secure location, or at least have some security around when holding large amounts of cash. It is to bad that it has to come to that but some prevention in the future may be a good idea.

    I know a guy who embodies these old fellas. Someone tried to stick up the bar he was drinking in. He grabbed the guy, gun and all wrestled till the gun was pointing at the robbers head and said "pull the trigger now" *expletive*. He got a letter from the mayor of Halifax for that, and a medal from the Navy.

    He's President of the local Legion now.
