This 82 year old grandmother would be dead
She said she was just walking to her car with some groceries when she was approached by the suspect. She said, “In a very mild voice he said, ‘this is your day. You are too old to be alive anyway.’” Moments later she said he grabbed her cane and started beating her and she’s got the bruises to prove it. She said, “I got boo boos where I didn’t know I had a place to put boo boos.” She eventually went for the gun in her purse and opened fire. She didn’t hit him but said it still saved her life. She said, “In the long run I think it saved me because if I hadn’t shot the thing no one would have known there was anything wrong and come running.”

The bigots at the Brady Campaign say she should not have had a gun. They claim the police are adequate protection. Their ilk always claim to just give the thugs what they want. What do you give them when what they want is your life?
An 82 year old woman is no match for a younger, healthier man physically. With a firearm, the simple action of being able to pull a trigger puts her on par with an NFL linebacker. This is what the anti-gunners want to prevent. They prefer to see the old lady beaten to death rather than have the ability to defend herself with the best tool possible. They claim their laws are for safety, and it's just another lie.
The victim said owning a gun isn’t for everyone but added with the proper training it’s a good idea particularly for elderly people like her that are becoming victim’s [sic] more and more often.
Amen.
