A Florida woman says she "went blank" when she decided to fight off a pair of home intruders who were armed with an assault rifle.
The woman, who asked not to be identified by her real name, said she was thinking of her family's safety when two men, one with an AK-47 assault riffle, stormed into her home in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on Saturday and tried to rob her.
"I went blank. I had no feeling. I wasn't scared. I wasn't brave. I was just -- it's go time. Do or die," the woman told Orlando ABC affiliate WFTV on Monday. “When I seen the barrel of the gun, I swear it felt like a movie."

Afraid for her safety, the unarmed victim said she wrestled with one of the men until he dropped the firearm. They eventually ran out of the house, with one firing shots, but missing on his way out. No injuries were reported.
"I noticed that the guy started getting nervous -- his fingers getting crazy on the trigger. And I just disarmed it. I just completely took out the magazine from the AK," the woman said. "They just didn't know I was going to fight back. That's what they didn't know.”
Police in Altamonte Springs, located about 10 miles north of Orlando, arrested Angel Delgado Santiago, 30, and Jorge Montanez, 17, on robbery charges in connection with the invasion, according to WFTV.

This lady is nick named "trigger" because she likes to collect guns. She left her gun in her car when she went back to her house to grab her cellphone.
She has a sticker on her front window that says "nothing in this house is worth dying for". Awesome.
“They just didn’t know I was going to fight back. That’s what they didn’t know.”
Great job lady!
not good. She should have shot them. Another lesson for permit-carrier
To be fair, “trigger” just refers to the weapon as an “AK”.
Trigger Argee from “A Tale of Two Clocks”?
HOORAY Florida woman!!!!
Pair of upstanding citizens. Don’t forget the Vaseline when you go to the pen, guys.
Jorge’s gonna hear “You shore gotta purty mouth...”
Yep. And then they’ll be checking out the other end.
Angel looks demonic.
Citizens?
For real?
Heck, my front door has the same thing (from Frontsight years ago).
“Afraid for her safety, the unarmed victim...”
She should have been armed.y
If the situation ever arises for me I hope I do the same. No hesitation, doubt or fear.
Sorry, forgot the /s.
>>>She has a sticker on her front window that says “nothing in this house is worth dying for”. Awesome.<<<
She should have gotten the Spanish version of the sticker.

Best response, hands down....
“I don’t remember ANYTHING, please call the rescue squad, I fear I am going into shock, please call my lawyer and have him meet me at the hospital.
When I get out of the hospital, WE will come and talk to you.
Also tell them reporters to get the ‘F’ off of my lawn.
Thank you.
