Nothing like a handgun to keep a criminal from making you a victim.
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.
She should have rapped his knuckles, too.
"I just walked right on past him to the bedroom and got my gun," Leda Smith said.
What would she have done if she had lived under gun control?
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.
Good for her. Let’s see what AARP does with her.
