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 Sunday afternoon and grabbed the .22-calibre revolver she had been keeping by her bed since a neighbour's home was burglarized a few weeks ago.

Imagine him telling the guys at prison how he got there. "Yeah an 85 year-old woman held me up at gun-point."

What gets me is she forced him at gunpoint to call the cops on himself...
"now, young man, you're going to call 9-1-1 and tell the police that you've been a bad boy and that they should come and get you...No cookies"
Ouch , I think I just hurt myself......  ;D      :rofl
