A couple of weeks ago in St. Louis, a 93 year old woman was attacked by a group of punks playing the "knockout" game. After she was knocked to the ground, the punks surrounded her kicking her repeatedly. She was able to retrieve her legally carried handgun and shoot the leader of the group. The rest scattered like rats. Would you have preferred she be unarmed and murdered or carrying a handgun and able to defend herself and save her own life?

I would normally ask to see what your source of the story would be but I just Googled it myself as it sounded mighty heroic of the old lady - as well as mighty implausible. I found the article on Google and it comes under the "Urban Legends".
According to urbanlegends.com, it was a fiction story from a satirical online newsletter.
93-Year-Old Grandma Kills 'Knockout Game' Thug? - Urban Legends.
Anyhow, glad to see we agree on the verdict of the Jacksonville killer and have the same hope on the retired police captain.
