I think everyone here likes a gun story with a happy ending. Good Job, Soldier!

Pretty good example of gun control for a guy who's 84.

Exactly what I thought, too - "Way to go, Walt Kowalski!"

Impressive! Not only did that Luger fire after all these years, but his shot placement, under stress, was pretty good. Kudos to him!

Good for him.

I don't think they got the details right though. I could believe him using a German Luger that he captured and used in WWII but not Korea.
