"A pair of burglars in Southern California got more than they bargained for when they broke into the home of a champion tomahawk thrower this weekend.

The woman armed herself with one of her special throwing axes and chased off the intruders.

So, how about posting it?

'I could have thrown it,' Ms Irvine said. 'I could have put it right in his spine. It would have paralyzed him.'

That would not be advisable, Ms. Irvine, as he could sue you. The back of the head would be better.

Quite the battle axe, and that weapon in her hand is nasty too.

Clearly not a tomahawk.

Who needs to behead a hoodlum? Not this Lady. Too messy. She could’ve just given a very close shave or took a little off the top. Either way, they would’ve gotten the message.

'I could have thrown it,' Ms Irvine said. 'I could have put it right in his spine. It would have paralyzed him.'

She had one ax with her, and two burglars. Throwing it, unless she had another weapon handy, would not have been a good idea.

That throwing axe looks a bit blunt....

should be hollow ground and sharp enough to shave with...

so can split the skill of a bear at 20 paces....

I hope it wasn’t a automatic assault throwing tomahawk or had a capacity of 30 throws per throwing arm.
