Remember the old adage:

Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he´s too old to fight he´ll just kill you.

It looks like it applies to old women too.

At least in New Hampshire!

4’11” and 105 pounds vs. 5’11” and 200.

Equalizer functioned properly.

[Graybeard58]

Earlier, she took calls from Mayor Ted Gatsas and Police Chief Nick Willard. She said Willard asked if she felt OK being unarmed because police took her weapon for evidence. Not to worry, she told him, her neighbor had lent her one of his.

Now, that’s a good neighbor!

Maybe ubama could have a presser and shed a few tears over this tomorrow.

"If I wanted to kill him, I would have aimed for the head," she said.

You did okay, grandma. Center of mass was the right shot.

He [Izzy Falcone] said he makes a living building weapons for the military

Oh Noes!

presdent 0Muslim has made Izzy a felon!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Indeed and a happy ending.

[Redcitizen]

A light .32 caliber pistol in hand is better than the heavy .45 caliber pistol left in the gun safe.

Too bad she didn’t kill him, it would have saved the taxpayers some money.

[BBell]

It would be interesting to know what kind of .32. I’m thinking S&W long.

[BBell]

Never mind. I missed the part about it being a Kel-tec.

She's got a .32 gun in her pocket for fun....

[RKBA Democrat]

Talking to reporters was not a wise move on her part. Looks like it’ll end well, but what if its an antigun prosecutor? All those statements in the newspaper will be used to characterize her as a bloodthirsty gun owner, hell bent on maiming some poor, gentle giant who was merely trying to help her to her home.

Not anymore... She said Willard asked if she felt OK being unarmed because police took her weapon for evidence.

What could they possibly need it for?

This is why real Americans support our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms.

[InABunkerUnderSF]

Should be 4 foot 11 inches, 105 pounds and 65 grains. Even a teeny little gun can be a great equalizer.

[JimRed]

You did okay, grandma. Center of mass was the right shot.

Good shooting, but insufficient penetration. Ribs probably stopped that little .32 round.

"and headed home to 640 South Porter St., a three-story, garden-style apartment building"

Why did they publish her address?

[pax_et_bonum]

“Equalizer” - you beat me to it. :-)
