The 25 year old rugby player and the 65 year old arthritic pensioner bring totally different skills and abilities to the table. Are the authorities going to take that fact on board?
The pensioner will need a shotgun to defend himself where the rugby player could probably cope with his bare hands.
Secondly, the chances of the unarmed pensioner surviving a violent attack are way less than those of the fit rugby player.
Thirdly, the odds are far more likely that the attack will be made on those less likely to be able to defend themselves vigorously!
How many elderly people does one see on the streets after dark? Very few - because we are too scared to go out at our age!

What if the arthritic pensioner can’t pull the trigger on the gun?? I have some better ideas.
Firstly, we could start a twinning scheme where each pensioner is assigned their very own rugby player. The rugby player follows them around at all times, swinging their gigantic arms and swatting muggers like flies.
Secondly, if we run out of rugby players (or we find that muggers tend to strike during league matches when our pensioners are defenseless) we could train “attack birds” to peck out the eyes of any attackers.
Thirdly, if the attackers simply wear bigger hoodies then we might have to train the pensioners to remove hoods so that the birds can get at their horrid eyes.
Fourthly.. no.. I’ve got bored now. You’re a fearful nincompoop. Stop cowering behind your twitching curtain. Go out, meet some people, live what’s left of your life or else stop wasting perfectly good food.
