Yeah, and every cop I know retired fat and arthritic - and the ones who actually had a beat that required even infrequent use of their training usually died young. So I'm not sure training from 40 years ago would be of too much help - however, the guy may not feel any pain and/or fear, which would be a decided advantage.
