Hmmmm.....a crime shortage, that would be nice... Here in Texas we still have plenty...but at a minimum, most criminals understand that there are a whole lot of us "potential victims" that are fully armed.....cocked and locked.

Sadly...many of these vermin have resorted to robbing little old ladies in their driveways....

Those little old ladies need to take a lesson from this L.O.L.:

72 year old woman defends herself with gun

Excerpt:

Zamarripa told jurors she grabbed her loaded revolver from under her bed and braced her elbow on the counter to steady her trembling hand.

Barefoot and in her nightgown, she waited with the gun aimed where she thought the intruder would enter.

Outside, she heard him prop open her storm door.

Then he ran up to and broke through the locked door, ripping the deadbolt holder out of the doorjamb.

The intruder's momentum knocked him to the ground, but Zamarripa never adjusted her aim. When he stood up, Zamarripa wounded him with three out of four shots from about eight feet away before he scrambled out the door.

"I knew if I didn't shoot him, he would have raped me," she said.

Yeah, we Texans understand the difference between "victim" and "perpetrator" -- and we damn-well enforce it.
