Famous boxer Jack Dempsey was able to beat up a pair of muggers who tried to beat him up when he was in his mid-seventies, but not a lot of seniors can do such a thing. And I don't think packing heat is necessarily likely to level the playing field, since I'm fairly certain that requires its own set of skills.
Also, I can't help but notice that Biker's calling Boru out for supposedly thinking old people are all doddering old fools (though Biker certainly seems to be one, if you can expand the definition of "doddering" to include his unhinged ramblings and his tenuous interpretation of other people's posts), even though he himself likely brought up the idea of a little old lady overpowering an armed man twice her size just so he could have a strawman to balk at when I pointed out how rare the "good guy with a gun" scenario actually is (and that even a good guy without a gun seems more likely to pull it off.)
