Sixty Year Old Texas Woman Fends Off Home Invaders With Handgun
BY Herschel Smith7 years, 3 months ago
Two armed home invaders entered a Harris County, Texas, home on Monday, but only one lived to talk about it.
Thomas Gilliland of Harris County Sheriff’s Office told reporters this week that a 60-year-old woman exercised her Second Amendment rights to fend off two men. One of the suspects collapsed and died in her front yard shortly after 11:30 a.m. local time.
“It’s the state of Texas — if you’re going to go into someone’s home, you’re going to get shot,” neighbor Cathy Hanks told a local CBS affiliate. “That’s really how we are. That’s just Texas.”
The unidentified suspect who got away was wearing dark clothing and visible red underwear, the station reported. The victim, whose name was not publicized, said he appeared to be around 20-years-old.
“Both were armed with pistols. She confronted both suspects,” said Mr. Gilliland added.
One firearm was found next to the dead suspect’s body.
There must be some mistake. This is impossible. It’s impossible to own a gun and actually be safer because of it. Er … it’s impossible to defend your life without all of that Ninja warrior stress control training. Er … it’s impossible for old people to defend their lives with a gun. Er … a gun makes you statistically less safe.
I just can’t believe this. You mean she was able to do this without going to classes taught by former SpecOps on CQB and room clearing TTPs?
As for the progs among us, they would rather the woman have been raped and killed than to use a gun to defend herself.

“wearing dark clothing and visible red underwear.” Thug Life fools who dress like that are typically not going to be negotiated with by any homeowner – just shot – whether or not homeowner has proper ninja training – while thug uses his knuckles in typical thug fashion as gun sights.
At least they can’t run like Jesse Owens with their trousers pulled down…
