N.J. Logan is not to be trifled with.
This 80-year old Tampa grandma was resting her new hip after recent surgery upstairs in her home, when she heard a "commotion" downstairs and quickly realized it wasn't her husband, who was out playing bridge.
So she grabbed her gun, and ran to the steps.
“I don’t know what was going on in my mind. Honestly, all I wanted was my gun,” she told WTVT-TV, adding that she “really didn’t want to have to shoot anybody.”

She looks good for 80, and her eyes have that in the moment awareness of the very intelligent. She won’t be intimidated by some 911 operator.
Yep. It’s settin right next to the 3# salami.
Didn’t get the kit but, I snagged me some salami. ..
Well, you might...unless she shot ya.
Boy, Diane Keaton has really let herself go.

lol...LUV it!
But keep trying!!
Oh, dear Lord. The spitting image of Hilary.
LOL
It’s amazing how well they can do a hip replacement these days, and how fast people can recover. Along the same lines, George W. Bush recently had a knee replacement as an outpatient.
NO WAY! This granny looks a lot better than that fat slob, Hillary.
And I betcha she doesn’t have cankles either.
Yes, but at 80, she looks younger than Mrs. Clinton.
There’s no way the woman in that picture is 80.
Her mistake was telling the 911 operator she had a gun, unless the operator heard her shouting at the bad guys.
In New York some years ago, a young ex-paratrooper was walking a small timid suburban co-worker home late at night. They were attacked by a large drunk with a boxcutter. The military guy disarmed him and pounded his head against the street until he stopped fighting. His co-worker ran away. The next day they were at work and the police came and arrested the soldier. THe attacker had been taken to the hospital with a fractured skull, the suburbanite co-worker had made a police report. Soldier spent the night in the Tombs, family ponied up $10,000 bail/lawyer money before he was sent to Rikers. He eventually won his case but the $10,000 was gone for good.
I once spoke to a fellow who had been attacked in the streets. The victim had a box cutter in his pocket and cut the attacker’s throat. The attacker died, but the police never found his victim.
I know all about it.
But I wasn’t “running” after a recent surgery.
My friend shattered her Hip at the age of 95.
9 weeks later we were on a ship and she was going up and down the stairs.
People heal at various speeds and possess a certain indomitable spirit.
Damn it!
Thanks 0bamacare!

So you can know your place in:
The dispatcher undoubtedly was instructed to advise victims to disarm themselves because “only police are trained to use firarms correctly and safely.”
