Cool .... But that would never happen here as we are not allowed to have a hand gun. So I will have to think of a more creative way.

Good for her! I don't know if she would have actually shot him, but he didn't have the courage to call her bluff--if she was bluffing.

I wonder if she could shoot somebody, a burglar at her home. Could she be able to get away with it, can she? It is her home.

Christian grandmas don't need rifles. They are taught:

Matthew 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Its about time grannies fought back!

You wouldn't catch anyone in the UK trying to stop a burgalar anymore, If you so much as lay a finger on a burgalr even in your own home, you can be sued.

Criminals have more rights than victims.

That is very true. One good example of that is the criminal who broke into a warehouse through the skylight. He fell and was injured, and he sued the owners of the warehouse and won $250,000.

AMEN... Boanerges - thank you for posting that info.

For those persons who have looked at my profile, you know that I was a law enforcement officer for 21 years retiring in 1991 as a tactical team (SWAT) training sergeant. Since then in addition to my Pastoral and Ministry obligations and weather analysis, I teach Personal Defense Firearms classes for women (only) in five US states. Over the past 17 years, three of my graduates have had to use defensive force to stay alive. I am proud that these three women remembered their training and acted as they were instructed under the laws of their respective states in doing so. Linda, Gretchen and Louise are all still with us today because they knew what to do and how to legally protect themselves from the deadly force that was being subjected to them.

For those persons in countries, other than the US, who no longer have the right to Keep and Bear Arms, let me just say that in your countries, as soon the personal law abiding ownership of handguns was taken away, only the criminals had guns. Now your crime rates are out of control because there is no longer a civilian deterrent to crimes against individuals and businesses. We pray for your collective safety.
