Chair saves elderly woman

[RgrF]

An 87-year-old Maine woman ably fought off a teenage attacker, then fed him because he said he was “awfully hungry.”

Wow, an 87 yr old woman able to fight back. 87 is the new 57.

Maybe when home invaders break in, offer them fruit?

If she had a gun, she could have shot the teen. Are you suggesting that would have been the preferred outcome?

If you’re a gunner, yes, that’s the preferred outcome. But possibly Mr645 would have used a chair.

If a teen breaks into my home, physically assaults me, I will do everything in my power to protect myself even if it means the person is removed from my home with a mop

He hopes every day for a chance to blast away at someone.

Actually I hope I never have to fire a weapon in self defense. And like 80+ million gun owners, we never will. The 20 round box of self defense ammo should last me a lifetime, while range ammo I buy by the 1000 round case

...and yet you fantasize about having to remove a home invader with a mop.

There's some deep unsatisfied aggression there.

Deep family protection issues, no aggression.

Some people clearly need some training before considering a gun for protection

...while others need training before being released into civilized society.

It's not really hard to understand the attraction Trump holds out for like-minded folks. Just remember any attempt to deduct those contributions to his campaign from a tax liability might be considered criminal actions and subject to prosecution.
