Armed 85-year-old woman makes intruder call cops
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-leda20-2008aug20,0,1418876.story
POINT MARION, Pa. -- An 85-year-old woman boldly went for her gun and busted a would-be burglar inside her home, then forced him to call police while she kept him in her sights, police said. "I just walked right on past him to the bedroom and got my gun," Leda Smith said. Smith heard someone break into her home Monday afternoon and grabbed the .22-caliber revolver she had been keeping by her bed since a neighbor's home was burglarized a few weeks ago. "I said 'What are you doing in my house?' He just kept saying he didn't do it," Smith said. After the 17-year-old boy called 911, Smith kept holding the gun on him until state police arrived at her home in Springhill Township, about 45 miles south of Pittsburgh. The boy will be charged with attempted burglary and related offenses in juvenile court, Trooper Christian Lieberum said. He was not identified because of his age. "It was exciting," Smith said. "I just hope I broke up the (burglary) ring because they have been hitting a lot of places around here." Now that is what I call gun control!

Woman after my own heart. If it was a sawed off there would have been a problem.

She was obviously a proponent of gun control. It sounds as though she had both hands on the gun at all times. Good for her!

Can you imagine the humilation of this guy when he goes to jail and his BFF found out how he got caught? They might even take turns with him even if he has the soap on a rope.
