I just spoke with my mother in Arizona who is 89 and still driving. My brother is uncomfortable with her driving, but the difference is that he can disable her car, but she has a gun......and she can hit what she is aiming at. I have told this story, but I get this frantic call from my mother that she went to do laundry and on top of her washing machine was a possum.....she goes upstairs and gets a 22 pistol with hollow points and from about thirty feet shoots at the possum....calls me and wants me to check it out because she is scared that the possum is......well playing possum. I go over and bring a pair of channel lock pliers approach the washing machine and grab the possum by the tail, and she had shot the damn possum right between the eyes.
As a kid my dad belonged to gun clubs and we would spend Sunday after church shooting as a family, and my mother was deadly with a pistol, and to this day I can hit anything in the prone position but cannot hit the broad side of a barn with a pistol, so the moral of the story......do not take away driving privileges from armed old ladies.
