[QUOTE="witzend, post: 281310, member: 99"] Yes, he may have started out on the wrong foot. We didn't see that, but it's possible. It's also possible that she was altered, and [I]anything[/I] he said could have made her go off. Maybe he did ask about her grandkids, and she got paranoid because her grandkids had talked to her that day about not driving anymore due to her age, or about selling her home and moving to an assisted living center. None of us can know for certain that she wasn't a threat to society. Not all old people are fine upstanding citizens. Some are dirty rotten crooks. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and by the time she was 43 she was already having psychotic episodes seeing people that weren't there. You might think at that age that it was something else, but it definitely followed the regular progress of Alzheimer's. Her baby sister had the same thing, but it started in her mid-50's. They were totally paranoid about their freedoms, but neither of them drove, thank goodness. It wasn't a time when women needed to drive. If they had ever been stopped by an officer, it would have been awful. My grandma was 5' 10" but her sister was only 5' 2". Either of them might have gotten paranoid enough to carry a gun. My grandpa had to get rid of the weapons for her protection. [/QUOTE]
