You GO granny!!!!
Armed 85-year-old woman makes intruder call cops
2 hours, 51 minutes ago POINT MARION, Pa. - An 85-year-old woman boldly went for her gun and busted a would-be burglar inside her home, then forced him to call police while she kept him in her sights, police said. "I just walked right on past him to the bedroom and got my gun," Leda Smith said. Smith heard someone break into her home Monday afternoon and grabbed the .22-caliber revolver she had been keeping by her bed since a neighbor's home was burglarized a few weeks ago. "I said 'What are you doing in my house?' He just kept saying he didn't do it," Smith said. After the 17-year-old boy called 911, Smith kept holding the gun on him until state police arrived at her home in Springhill Township, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh. The boy will be charged with attempted burglary and related offenses in juvenile court, Trooper Christian Lieberum said. He was not identified because of his age. "It was exciting," Smith said. "I just hope I broke up the (burglary) ring because they have been hitting a lot of places around here."

Good for her!!!!! I heard ...
Good for her!!!!! I heard a story on our local news this morning where some guy assaulted an old woman of 80 something in an elevator and took her cane as well and she was found unconscious. I was saying, yeah, hit the easy prey. GRRRR... He should try that on someone that can fight back and he'd probaly get his a** kicked..The JERK!
I am glad the burglar ...
I am glad the burglar didn't wrestle the gun away from her. That is my only fear in a circumstance like that.
yes this one turned out ...
yes this one turned out well..for a change
People tell me that they ...
People tell me that they are afraid if I ever got carjacked, cuz one of the things that pisses me off the most is where people think that what I/we work so hard for should just be handed over to their lazy ,friggin low-life asses just because they say we should or their weapon says we should. OH HECK NO!! I'm not giving my stuff up without a fight and people are afraid that people that do it that way will get hurt /killed. Be a real BIG MAN and take it unarmed and see how freakin' far you get...I totally agree with you Walter..people should fight back..Take some punk ass kid that wants your stuff just because his mama/daddy can't give it to him..Tough Shit! Get a job!!! OH DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THIS...LOL
If I was in my 80's and ...
If I was in my 80's and had a gun pointed at some 17 year old punk I wouldn't be worried about him trying to wrestle me - if he did he'd just end up shot!!
Go Granny!!! Sure goes to show that East Coasters ARE TOUGHER!!
