Of course I don’t. But reflexes, reaction time, new skill acquisition, and memory all suffer with age - that’s not a slur, just a fact. The number of 90 year old grans able to defend themselves with a handgun against an armed assailant is pretty small.

And you know this how? How many people do you know in their 90' s who have a concealed carry pistol?
None would be my bet.
I on the other hand know several. My dad for one.
He can make a itty bitty 45 acp appear out of thin air and he will not miss a target at self defense range. He has been handling firearms over 8 decades. Never had a problem.
Our neighbor's mother is 2 years older than dad. She has a S+W .38 1st gen hand ejector ( not 38 special) she had been proficient with since WWII. She's pretty frail - and would be completely unable to defend herself without it. With it? You' d be a fool to try her. I make reloads for her - and watched her go through a whole box punching holes in paper. Nobody has to show her how to use a revolver. She can fire, load and fire in the dark - and probably asleep......Faster than many I' ve seen.
