This is why I support my Second Amendment. Gun-grabbers would rather this 85 year old would have been beaten, raped, murdered?
Good for this Granny!!!

There are many reasons to support gun rights. But knowing that an elderly woman is able to defend herself when an uninvited intruder breaks into her home is truly priceless. The very fact that she was armed made ALL the difference in this incident, reported by thetandd.com.
In Orangeburg County, South Carlina, an 85-year-old woman woke up to the sound of her dog barking at 2:15am early Sunday morning. Before she went to investigate what the dog was barking at she made an important decision? she grabbed her handgun.
When the pistol packing granny entered the dining room she came face to face with the intruder.
According to the police report the woman?s first reaction was to yell at the intruder, ?What are you doing in my house?? She said that the crook did not move and did not respond to her question. But her next move definitely got a reaction. She raised her gun and fired a shot at the intruder.

The intruder then ran out of the house through a back door and went down a nearby dirt road. Deputies are checking Midlands hospitals for someone with a gunshot wound after he incident.

I'm glad she came out of it unharmed.
If that happened here, she possibly would have been arrested as we're expected to call uniformed services and await their arrival if we are unable to defend ourselves without the use of possibly-fatal weapons.

When seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
The words "To protect and serve" have been removed from police vehicles in the States for one simple reason: They know they CAN'T protect us. That is the job of the citizen and no one else can do it. Who the hell is ANYONE else to tell you how you are allowed to protect your own LIFE?
 
Equal rights and such. I believe it's seen similarly to the way the death penalty has and can be seen: 'you're killing someone for killing someone else, therefore you are a murderer yourself' - if that makes sense.

You can't expect much from the police force around this area, you'll be lucky if they arrive in under 15 minutes in some cases. :')

I do support the death penalty, actually. But only when there is proof that cannot be refuted.
You'd be LUCKY to see a cop in 15 minutes in Detroit! 3 hours to respond to a 911 call there is pretty standard, I **** you not.
