"A Calumet City resident prevented a gunmen from robbing him by pulling out his gun and firing it at the would-be robber, Midlothian police reported.

The 68-year-old man, who has a concealed-carry gun permit, told police that a man tried to rob him and his 9-year-old son Dec. 5 in the 3300 block of 147th Street. A witness said he heard people arguing outside, heard four or five gunshots and saw a man running through back yards heading south on Turner Avenue, according to police.

They said officers apprehended the suspect in the parking lot of Central Park School, 3621 W. 151st St., and the victim and his son identified him as the man who tried to rob them."

Gee, another "old" man successfully defends himself and his son from a younger attacker, without killing any innocent bystanders!!

Whoud'a thunk it?
