It's an old Southron thing, and while "good for you" is quite literal, "good on you" has a little bit more "you deserve reward" in its meaning. And "Good on you" is more likely to be used ironically, BTW.

My dad, who is 75, calls himself an old coot all the time. So I don't see it as an insulting term. Hope you don't, either.

He reminds me of my grandpa. Kudos to the local news, too. They were respectful and seemed genuinely thrilled with this man and this story. No attempts to make us feel sorry for the bad guys or to imply that the "old coot" shouldn't have shot them. Good to know that the news sometimes can get the story right. Awesome story.
