The reports I read were that a fight broke out. Possible that he was getting his butt whooped and used it in self defense?
I'm not saying it is right, but good manners go a long way.
That is what is more and more sounding like what happened. That 43 year old started threatening the 71 year olds life, maybe even a punch or two and the 71 year old went bang. He then apparently sat down with the gun in plane site waiting for the cops.
If that is the case good for the 71 year old.

Look all you want, she can't find anyone else who treats her as bad as I do, and I keep her self esteem so low, she wouldn't think twice about going anywhere else.
I just want to point out that it seems like everyone has started taking me literally for some reason lately. Obviously I don't think capital punishment is proper for texting in a movie. Now cutting their hands off? I could get on board with that.
Bingo. I'm wondering if his age will come into play with Floridas stand your ground laws.. i mean he was 71.. however he didn't look decrepid at all.
71 is tough, my grandma is 80 and is on point but my woman's grandma at 78 is in failing health, falls asleep at will, etc but still appears mentally alright.
Clearly, the guy is either incompetent or a real dick to draw a gun for a text. Regardless, it's just one more knock against guns. I'm saying 2025 will be the end of the line.

It's the whole board, dude. I can't say shit without it being taken as an attack. Sarcasm, don't even get me started on that, everyone's sarcasm meter seems to be out of TV remote batteries. And don't even get me started on the newbs...

I'll be sure and bump this in 2025 and see if you're correct.

I want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

For sure. I'm at the point where I'm firmly convinced that the vast majority of law abiding Americans are too stupid to abide by the laws that govern them and will fuck it up for the rest of us.
I would have held a hostage till the movie was over. All the guy had to do was silence his phone. But instead he played stupid games and won stupid prizes. Sometimes it is good to be courteous
