Anywhere else & Granny would’ve been charged with brandishing & unlawful discharge of a weapon.

would have been within her rights to shoot the dog owner after she was hit with the skateboard.

What about BEFORE she got hit in the head with the skateboard?

Post 1 has the definitive picture of the “low information voter” supporter of Obama.

If she would’ve had real Barney Fife training, she would have just popped the dog.

Anyone else catch the not so subtle message that surveillance cameras in all public places is such a GREAT idea?

I am amazed she wasn't arrested. In a lot of places firing warning shots is often charged with discharge of a firearm within a city or reckless endangerment if there is anyone else within the general area. Still a jury would have probably said no way and let her go.

Having both lethal and less-lethal (pepper spray) with you is a really smart thing. Allowing the skateboarder to get close enough to hit her in the head with his skate board, was not go situational awareness. A skateboard is a heavy enough object that it could easily be a lethal weapon and Granny still be in good enough condition to pull her firearm probably indicates a lack that the skateboarder was not all that serious about his attack on her.

In my book, she should have either used any remaining pepper spray on the skateboarder prior to his hitting her or she should have shot him with no warning shot in the air. The situation either deserves lethal force or it doesn't. It is a tough call, but once one determines that pulling a firearm is required (i.e. that lethal force is justified) then it is time to “shoot to live.”
