A 55-year-old grandmother from Seward who had her purse snatched in the parking lot of the Dimond Boulevard Costco on Monday afternoon has taken it upon herself to "catch the twirps," she said............"They are lucky I didn't have my .45 automatic. I would have blasted them," said Szymanski.

How many times do you see 55 y/o grandfather shot........Being a grandmother is cool but it doesn't put us in the rocking chair....well maybe when we are rocking a little one, but...

My mother was a great grandmother at 56 and regularly would shoot the heads off of rattle snakes when camping out.No one messed with her!

"There's a lot of victims out there, we try to prioritize and get to them as quickly as we can," Shell said. Shell said Anchorage police get more than 300 calls a day that require patrol officers to respond and write reports when only 20 to 25 patrol officers are on duty at any one time.More armed grandmas needed in Anchorage.
They would probably do better than the police.

I'm certainly not knocking the 55 year old grandma or any other seniors, or near seniors. I'm older than she is.

They robbed Mrs. Claus? What a bunch of heartless creeps.

Moral: Don't mess with Grandmas - especially at Christmas time. They could be packing heat!

More armed grandmas needed in Anchorage.We could actually use them in a lot of places. Perhaps a standing militia of Grandmas? Even if the Law didn't allow them to carry, they could bash the perps with shopping carts.
