Ma is holding her pistol like a squirt gun.
Like a squirt gun. And she had crazy scared eyes. Rushing her is a good way to get your head blown off. And there’s a weird thing about women. When they are mad or scared, with no training at all, and their eyes closed, they can squeeze off one shot and nail a shot from 75 feet.
Only a fool looks at a scared woman with a gun and says she obviously doesn’t have any training, I can rush her.
She was! I bet she has NEVER fired it before! If she pulled the trigger it probably would have jumped out of her hand.
