80-year-old John Wayne
fan puts attacker in hospital

Investigators say they were definitely going to rob him - possibly even kill him.
But an 80-year-old North Texan wasn’t about to let that happen, so he took action.

One of the suspects is in the hospital and both are facing charges.

Two men obviously thought James Pickett, 80, was an easy target when they showed up at his home on Saturday with a knife. [snip]

In short, even at 80, he is someone you just don’t mess with.

What the men didn’t know is Picket had taken a pistol and put it in his pocket before opening the door. [snip]

The old saw about knives at gun fights holds up.

“I think I’m a ten times better shot than and he is… But they best not come back,” he said.

If he was a good shot, there wouldn’t be a trial.
