82 Yr Old Granny Shoots At Burglar. 2nd Time in 20 Years.

Gun toting granny not fazed by would-be burglar



SNIP

According to Toledo Police, 50 year old Byron Layson broke a window in 82 year old Mattie Snow’s Hamilton Street home Sunday morning. Snow has lived in the home since 1957, has been burglarized before and knew exactly what to do. “I hollered who is it and they didn't say anything so I shot,” Snow said.

Police say Snow fired two shots before she called 911. When police arrived, they say they found Layson laying near Snow’s car outside the home. They say Layson jumped out the same window he came in to dodge the gunshots, hit his head and knocked himself unconscious. Layson was charged with burglary.

Snow had an almost identical experience 20 years ago, and reacted in the exact same way. Snow said a neighbor broke a window and crawled through. “I could see him dodging like this and I was steady pulling the trigger,” Snow said. “He ran to police and jumped up in their arms saying there's a crazy woman in that house.”

Castle Doctrine Law - its a beautiful thing.

Doesn't she read her scripts? She was supposed to be too terrified to use a gun and he was supposed to take it away from her. It is cleary there on page 2 Gun In The Home by Gun Banner.

1. She’s bought into the NRA/GOP BS about self defense…her gun was impolite to her visitor.

2. Especially when one considers
That it's quite likely they only wanted to borrow a slice from the pie in her windowsill .
