Elderly Concealed Carrier Shoots 1 Of 2 Armed Robbers At Senior Center (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Five people, including the suspected gunman, were shot at the Safe and Sound Social Club in Gary, Indiana. Officers responded to the members-only club Wednesday around 11:30 p.m. in the 2200 block of Broadway in Gary. The brave concealed carrier is identified as E.C. Robinson, age 65. Robinson was shot during the incident and is being treated at an area hospital.

The suspect in custody after being shot is identified as 23-year-old from Chicago. A second suspect managed to escape from the scene. The conditions of the other shooting victims are currently unknown, but it not currently believed anyone died during the incident.

Not only did a gun save lives and property here but i the end of the shoot out nobody was killed.  if I had to guess I’d say it is because there were all bad shots.  But, the point is that time and again guns actually save lives too which just proves the saying that guns don’t kill people, people kill people.

      Good for her!!!

        Repeatedly they say it was a man. The picture given by the source is of a cute old lady with a rifle. That is not a concealed weapon, nor could it ever be a concealed weapon unless the lady was really fat. Mort has a history of distorting the facts. Never’the’less this is a good example of gun control. Old people with guns are a good deterrent of violent crime against them, just as other age groups display the same capacity. I have had a situation like that, but non violent. I actually talked the gunman into calming down and going away. It could have been really tragic, but the entire time I was thinking ‘why am I in the woods, at a drinking party, with city folk Yankee strangers without a gun’?This older teen was on major drugs and was waving his gun around at the girls faces for some offense no one could understand.He pointed the gun at me, and I said” it is cool, we are all mellow here, no one hates you. WE just want to hang out and watch the fire. It seemed to work. He left.

          Shoosh, it’s a test :wink: it makes many of the comments, when it’s obvious they haven’t read the article, funny as all get out.

        • HatchMan

          She looks like she’s from Gary, In. You ever been to Gary?

    • Wisdom

      “BRAVO” Yes, good for her. I love courageous and daring women and not babydolls who run screaming :grin:

      • Krispy Critter

        I heard they were selling bootleg Viagra over at the seniors center.

        Not good.

    • rev

      What ever happened to the other 4 people she shot? All we know is they didn’t die. Okay. Who are they? Were they armed? Were they criminals? Were they bystanders who got in the way? Who shot them? Was it the 23-year-old gunman and his partner? Did Robinson shoot them? I really need to know these things if I am to assume the conclusion of this report.

      • INSIGNIA777

        I agree with yourself, I mean after all, did Obama lie about Benghazi?

        Did Obama lie about “Fast & Furious gun running to drug thugs?

        Did Obama lie about NSA spying on innocent people?

        Did Obama lie about health care?

        I agree, we should compare notes some day.

    • CaptainAmerica

      Isn’t that one of those scary black guns Feinstin said served no self defense purpose? Nahhh…Really? :cool: :grin:

    • Jerry

      From Chicago? Go figure.

      And in typical misleading BIN fashion, the photo of the woman with the rifle has NOTHING to do with the story. E.C. Robinson is a man.

      Shame on BIN and Mort for the misleading photo.

      • INSIGNIA777

        A news file photo. She was interviewed at her home. Notice the building walls are much different.

      Way to go Grammy. Loveya

      • SkyWolf

        Hope I have a neighbor like her.

    • Doccus

      That’s not the shooter, and that’s not the gun. This womam is clearly “elderly” as in 80.. the shooter was only 65 , which is not elderly, and a concealed permit for a high powered huntring rifle is .. er.. unlikely. Staged photo..
      “Elderly”!? Article was written my a young whippersnapper ;-)

    • 63 Marine

      The person in the picture is a woman and she looks a lot older than 65. The “REAL” shooter was a man. If you are going to report a story, make sure you have the info correct including the picture(s).

    • usafvet

      It was not an old granny with a suppressed M-4 that did the shooting as per the staged photo. They did not make it clear who was the defensive or offensive shooter(s) although it sounder like a 23 y.o. that was the defender. It was definitely a pistol caliber, probably a .380 or 9mm.

      That being said, being very pro 2nd amendment and being very well armed and having a CHL, I have only had to DRAW on two occasions. It does go to show, that thugs than get guns and do not worry about a CHL, whereas we, the law abiding, can get harassed for carrying legally. It happened to me once when there was a debate about how far I was from a school while concealed carrying in my auto.

      If I am every pulled over I always show the officer my CHL. In this case it was a bad idea since the a*hole used it against ne. BTW, after a range finder was used I was outside of the 1000 foot distance and all charges were dropped.

      Just more BIN hyperbole.

      YOU GO GRANDMA!!!

      BRAVO…

      • Krispy Critter

        2 thumbs up!

    • dufus

      thank you second amendment.

    • JudyG46

      :idea: I think all senior citizens should be able to carry concealed, I, being one of them, if they choose. There are far too many attacks on seniors. A simple Senior Gun Class would help many of us to be able to protect ourselves from marauding thugs.

      Good for you E.C. Robinson. Hope you’re doing well after all that. God bless.

    • liberal army veteran

      Seniors should not be allowed to carry guns. If this story is true then its a rare case. Just recently a senoir shot and killed a man in a movie theater over texting while another senior is on trial for shooting over loud music. These are just a couple of examples of what happens most of the time a senior uses a gun. Same thing with kids. Id rather fight with my fists as I spend hours every day training and eating right. Most of America is too fat, stupid, lazy, out of shape, and cowardly to do that though.
      Okay bring it!

      • HatchMan

        Huh??? What the frick? My grandad is 85 and still carries….You know how many punks want to rob old poeple? Give them guns!!!!

    • LiberalsRCommies

      E.C. Robinson is a man. It says “E.C. Robinson, 65, a Gary resident, was shot but managed to defend himself and others with his own gun. I dont know why they are showing an elderly woman with an assault weapon.

    • Joe1938

      People have a moral right to defend themselves, family, friends, and property. Not only that, people have a personal responsibility to do this.

      • HatchMan

        Well said Joe!

    • Billpits

      This should be a “well, duh.” But, so many have been mesmerized by the media’s demonizing of the weapon, itself, that too many just go bananas when a gun shows up. “Look out, he’s got a gun!” No evaluation of who the “he” is – just the gun and panic. And folks have the gall to believe it isn’t conspiratorial.
      Bless those old folks for being somewhat prepared. It looks as if they could use some basic instruction, though. Were they better prepared, it would have been only necessary for the “meat wagon” to show up.
      I’ve always believed that “My 1911 is a Hell-of-a-lot faster than 911.”
      “When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away.” :cool:

      • SkyWolf

        Wonder why the cops didn’t get there in time to beat up the innocent.

    • joespenthouse

      Good for you Grandma, you made a lot of gun owners proud. :cool:

      • HatchMan

        ^^….I want her as my grandmother :-D

    • Ritchard

      Would it be too politically incorrect to ask what race the robbers were since the one that was shot was from Chicago?

    • Swearbox

      What a load of garbage…why show a pic of the old woman with an assault weapon? Where did she manage to conceal that ffs????

      • Krispy Critter

        The news media paid a visit to herself, while she was in the comfort of her home, after the fact.

        Go figure… hey!

        Newsman says, Can we hear your story… may we have a picture?

        Thank you granny hero!

        Kick some butt you lovely lady.

    • don 1234

      likely more upset democratic voters from Chicago trying to limit the cost of obamacare to them and their families.
      no mention of skin color or religion so they must be far-eastern and muslim based on the omission.

    • CrowPie

      Fire arms are the great equalizer. You may be bigger, faster, stronger, and meaner than me…..but armed….it becomes about who is most skilled and determined to live.

      • AMERICA HAS RISEN

        Crow pie are you freakin stupid or what?
        Americans should NOT have guns.
        An American with a gun is like a 5 year old running across highway traffic on peak hour.

        • CrowPie

          Your mother is calling you.

        • Krispy Critter

          Many Americans with a guns defeated their (our) oppressors. Guess (“AMERICA HAS RISEN”) has yet to figure that out!!!

          (“AMERICA HAS RISEN”) What a poorly chosen “identity” for someone so stupid.

          I particularly enjoyed the spot on expression by (“AMERICA HAS RISEN”) stating that:

          [...] An American with a gun is like a 5 year old running across highway traffic on peak hour. [...]

          Pull your pants up idiot, you are the 5 year old!!

          Why are you so rude… dope. Vote for Omamma did you??

      • AMERICA HAS RISEN

        My mother I’d dead. Why are you so rude…

        • Krispy Critter

          (AMERICA HAS RISEN) is not an American, but a Nazi screw up!!

        • SkyWolf

          Crusty, have you just now met “Nazi has risen” ?

      • Krispy Critter

        Hi CrowPie… :grin:

        • CrowPie

          Hi Krispy! Nice to see you…. :grin:

    • AMERICA HAS RISEN

      This elderly person should be jailed. Where are the rights of robbers these days?
      Has the world now gone bizirk or what?
      Nobody can just shoot or fire on any robber! We all need to stand together and make sure robbers also have right!

      • Krispy Critter

        Blah, Blah… BLAH…

    • Diana

      lol She’s so cute. That gun is bigger than she is. A gun is a great equalizer.

      • SkyWolf

        Mr. Colt said the same thing in the 1800′s.
