Or angry youths. There have been several cases in which youths have beaten elderly robbery victims to death in their homes, if the elderly can't fight back the killers can take their time and be extremely sadistic.
Likewise elderly rape victims are more likely to be severely beaten during an attack.
Could anything be more chilling than these scenarios in your elder years? Besides an alarm system, what can the elderly (will be ME in just a few years) do to reduce the liklihood of something like this happening? I am not a gun advocate, but I find myself drifting to that side as I contemplate horrible crimes like these.
