Don't attack old ladies, they will just shoot you, because they know they can get away with it.

They were invading her home. What do you think she should have done? Invite them in for a cup of tea?

Hopefully you're trying to be funny, trying being the key word.

What should she have done? Offered them some iced tea?

They most likely would have killed her, that's the society we have today. They just don't rob your home or take your car in a car jacking, many times they kill so there are no witnesses.

Someone breaks into your home, all bets are off.

You do what you can to save yourself.

Funny how no mention of this on the national news on TV, not a peep.

It's been covered by the mainstream media in my town. But it's a local story and may not get much traction beyond that.

A couple of thugs getting more than they bargained for. Way to go, grandma!

More like because they know what the cruds will do to them if they don't shoot.

Here's an idea.

Get two equal sized bowls.
Every time you hear about a person legally defending themselves with a gun, put a quarter in the first bowl.
Every time you hear about a person illegally killing someone with a gun, put a quarter in the other.

Report back to us when one jar is full.
Did anyone say this was funny? I'm glad the woman had a way to defend herself. After reading a story about a 90 year old woman being raped, anyone who forces their way into my house is going to get everything that I can throw at them.
