“On the other hand, back in the ‘80s, I met a granny who could LITERALLY shoot the eyes out of targets a 50 feet with a .22 pistol. Later I found out that she was in the OSS during WWII. She would come to the range at Ft Leavenworth fairly regularly and stay in practice.”

Great story. One of my best friend’s grandmother was in the OSS. He has all the documentation to prove it. Half their library is dedicated to her memorabilia.

I have been a fan of big bore revolvers for years. I shoot them accurately, but they are not my choice for "carry". I prefer either an S&W 640 (.357mag) or Ruger LC9s for concealed carry. A 686+ is my preference where open carry is preferred. Often, I just have my blades as sufficient alternatives to bare hands. First choice...avoid going places where you need to resort to life or death engagements.

Situational awareness is the first defense.

Agree 100%. Diverting full attention to a cell phone makes for an easy target.

Why is this even an issue???

Give her a pat on the back, cart away the bodies, and tell the DA to STFU.
