Armed 85-Year-Old Woman With .357 Magnum Proves To Robber Older Generations Are Built Different

  • An 85-year-old woman in Idaho woke up at 2:00 a.m. to an intruder standing over her, pointing a 9mm pistol at her. The robber hit her, then took her into her living room, where he handcuffed her to a chair and demanded valuables.
    She then told the robber there were safes with valuables downstairs. When he went downstairs to look, she dragged herself-chair and all-to where she kept her revolver, retrieved it, and waited for the robber to come back upstairs.
    He returned in a rage because he had discovered her disabled son was in the home.
    Seeing her moment, the 85-year-old woman grabbed the revolver and shot the intruder twice.
    He returned fire, shooting in her arm, leg, chest, and abdomen.
    However, the robber’s wounds caught up with him as he struggled to the kitchen, where he died.
    Being 85 means this woman is part of The Silent Generation. If you know anything about the Silent Generation, Baby Boomers, &Generation X, they're psychos, in the best way possible, because they were raised differently.
    This actually reminds me of a post I saw that said:
    "Don't mess around with anyone over 42, they built different, their families had them formally trained in something by the time they were 2, they had keys to the house by age 5, could cook full meals at 7 and were pretty much self sufficient at 9.
    They left their house at dawn every Summer morning and didn't come back til nightfall and survived all day on water from garden hoses, they might get a sandwich on the off chance somebody's parents had went shopping, they spent three quarters of their lives by themselves with a parent maybe checking on them twice a month, most of them have evaded at least one kidnapping attempt, and, they know 15 different ways to remove blood stains from clothing.
    They are the real f&^k around and find-out people. "
    And this robber learned this the hard way.
    This demonstrates the power of self-reliance.
    People from generation x and back lived an existence where they were thought that their safety was in their hands and no one else.
    They didn't wait on the government to keep them safe, they did it themselves and they leaned on the second amendment to do it.

There are some Gen x raising Gen Z, it’s not just Millennials like my younger siblings. Why complain about our creations and handy work. The young narcissistic adults out there were raised by Gen X who are so proud of their upbringing but produced a-holes. WTF?

    My mother in law worked with her brother in the fields at age6. He was 8. They worked from 6 am to 12 noon. Her dad would send them home to start supper, while he and her mother continued working. Her brother started a wood fire in a pot belly stove, while she sorted and rinsed the beans and then proceeded to cook them over the fire. My father in law started hunting at 8, from horseback, to supplement the family meals. His family still farmed using a team of horses until 1952. Both of my in laws knew how to do everything without modern conveniences. They both came from families where traditional life ( and guns) were respected and handed on to the next generation.

      Might as well add my 2 cents. =) I have the first firearm I ever shot at around 4 years old. I remember Dad showing me how to line up the sigts, the feel of the curve of the trigger and the little ridges on it. That was in northern New Jersey. When I was 7 we moved to northern New York State. 4 miles out of town you could get lost in the woods. We didn't. We had a 100yd fireing range behind the house. When I was 14 my youngest sister was born the end of April. When school was out, Mom went to Vermont for vericose vein operation. She was gone two weeks. It was up to me and my next younger sister to take care of that baby. Wash and clothe her, change diapers and clean them out, wash them and hang them on the line, cook supper for 4 other siblings and Dad, make sure Dad had lunch. My sister and I switched off every other day to do this. You know who is going to survive the coming chaos? The people who know how to do stuff like hunt, fish, grow and preserve food.
      Good luck to all who lasted through my story.

    Lets not also forget that the older generation like that 85yo grandma also lived through world wars, great depressions, multiple pandemics, etc and are tough and resilient simply because they had to be back then. My late father fought in WW2 as a teenager and then only a few years after returning home he had to take on the role of breadwinner for his family after his father suddenly died of a heart attack aged in his early 50's. He worked his ass off in multiple jobs to put a roof over his mother's & his 5 younger siblings' heads until they were all finished school & able to fend for themselves (which is why he married late and only had me when he was 44yo, which was considered very old for the 1960's).
    I'm Gen X and took dad's hard-earned life lessons to heart and grew up to be self-sufficient just like him; I learned to hunt, shoot & fish before I was 10yo, could pull an engine & tranny from a vehicle and rebuild a 2-stroke outboard motor by my mid-teens, and moved out of home & got my own apartment at 18 (oh, and I'm a city kid too & not raised in the swamp or something). As my dad said he learnt from his time in the Army: "drop me in the middle of nowhere in a Jeep or Land Rover with a couple of rifles & ammunition and a good set of tools & butchering knives and I'll have everything that I'll ever need to get by".

(I had to walkover a mile to school.) then my mom gets a call from the school because I gave a kid a black eye when we were waiting outside before school started.

We left the house in the morning in the summer and would only return for dinner then back out until well after dark. We got to roam the town with our friends and we were always respectful of the businesses we went into and never caused any trouble. We could go in stores and restaurants and get what we needed often by just telling the owner to put it in our parents account. We had so much autonomy. It was a really good time to be a kid.

    You just described my upbringing with my brothers. As the older boy, I was cooking my family breakfast when I was 8, we all had housekeys and walked to school since kindergarten. We hiked across pastures and scrub and oak covered mountains, starting at dawn if not earlier, and returned later in the afternoon and on time. Knowing there would be consequences, we were never late. In our teens we took bicycles on 50+ mile rides. Usually, to go fishing or just to look around. I made my own bow from a busted SEARS fishing rod and some leather lacing from a crafts kit, taking 9 carp in on the first three-hour outing. The arrows were made from shaved cedar roofing shingles and pop top metal. My daughters rode bicycles 10 miles with their mom at 6 and 8 years old. The younger one later became an Airborne soldier. My brothers are both retired military and avid outdoorsmen with stable lives and solid values.
