85-Year-Old Pennsylvania Woman Pulls Gun on Burglar, Forces Him to Call 911
Tuesday, August 19, 2008
POINT MARION, Pa. — An 85-year-old woman busted a would-be burglar by pulling a gun on him, then forcing him to call 911 while she kept him in her sights, police said.
"I just walked right on past him to the bedroom and got my gun," said Leda Smith, of Springhill Township, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh.
Smith heard the 17-year-old boy break into her home about 3 p.m. Monday. She grabbed a .22-caliber revolver she began keeping by her bed when a neighbor's home was burglarized a few weeks ago.

POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON
A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad

She was featured on Good Morning America this morning. They even had part of the 911 tape released of the call her erstwhile burglar made to the police. The kid who broke in kept saying he didn't do it while he was on the phone. It was kind of funny listening to the tape.
Here's the story and interview from Good Morning America.

This is one of those things that does nothing to deter crime. The community should know who''s doing what when something of this nature comes down the pipe.The boy was not identified because of his age.
Protecting criminals is the least intelligent way to deal with crime.
If you are unwilling to give another man freedom in his life, do not expect to have it in your own.
