The lesson here, as always, don't mess with a Marine. Age is irrelevant.

Wednesday in Plantation, Florida, two, twenty some year old males burst into a Subway restaurant shortly after a 11pm. They demanded money and attempted to force the manager and the only customer in the store at the time into the bathroom. Unfortunately for them, 71 year former Marine, John Lovell was that customer. He had a legal handgun with a concealed carry permit. He shot both robbers. One died on the scene, the other was apprehended with a chest wound hiding in the bushes of an nearby bank.

Hmmmm, robbery was a bad idea? Crime doesn't pay?

Sadly, the criminals families have attempted to flip the script and portray the thugs as the victims.

What they didn't think somebody else, like a 70+ year old man, might shoot them if they decided to rob him and Subway? Tough luck, eh?
