She said she had no idea if the intruders were armed. But she was not about to become a victim.
She had a gun and she was ready to use it.
"I raised the gun and pointed it at his face," she explained.
She says the three guys were mortified and shocked to see a woman aiming a gun at them.
"I called them bastards and I said I'm gonna kill you! All three of them started running for the door," she told CBS12.
You can still see the damage they did to the front door, where they broke it down when they came in.
She says they were in the house for maybe 30 seconds. They didn't steal anything.
"I think it was the worst day of my life. It was the most horrifying day of my life. I couldn't believe it, I thought it was a bad nightmare," she said.
She's just relieved she had a handgun to defend herself with.
"I think it's wonderful. I think it's the only thing that saved me. It was my Godsend. I don't know what I would've done without it. I've never experienced anything like that before in my life. It was horrible, to have three strangers in your house and ransacking it. I was very angry. It's like, how dare you do this! You know. This is our home," the woman said.
Because of this incident she's telling her neighbors if they don't have a gun, they should think about getting one.
She and her husband also intend to get a bigger, more powerful handgun to replace the .22 that she now has. She plans to go to a shooting range and practice to make sure she's ready if it happens again.

YUP.
This being Florida where home invaders thrive, we teach our grannies to shoot straight, not cower.
