Pistol packin’ Granny! Wonderful!
There are a lot of us around.
This is a fairly rural area - one main road along a river valley with a few small towns every 15 miles or so. Large problem with meth cookers back in the woods, and house break-ins, although usually with vacant cabins and stuff.
Not a surprise that an elderly woman living there would know her way around a gun.
I recall the fake newspaper article with a picture of an older gal behind the wheel of her car. The policeman had pulled her over for a broken tail light, and saw that she had a pistol on the front seat.
“Excuse me ma’am - is that a real gun on the seat?”
“It sure is - it’s a .38”
“Do you have any other weapons in your vehicle ma’am?”
“I have a .357 under my seat, and a .44 in the glove box.”
“My word - what is an 82-year old woman so afraid of?”
“Not a G**-damn thing sonny!”
