I love a story with a warm and fuzzy ending.

Old lady blasted that arse with a .357 magnum.

quote:

BINGHAM COUNTY, Idaho (Gray News/KPTV) - A woman is being praised for her actions as she fought off an armed man during a home invasion last month.

Idaho authorities say Christine Jenneiahn, 85, used a handgun she had hidden underneath her pillow to shoot and kill an intruder who had allegedly bound her to a chair and threatened her life.

Jenneiahn reportedly turned the tables on the man and shot him twice with her .357 magnum.

The alleged home intruder, who died in the woman’s kitchen, was later identified as 39-year-old Derek Condon.

Granny Grab Your Gun

Vs 1:
Well it was 2 AM, with most the world asleep,
In the badlands of a place called Idaho,
But out there in the darkness,
Did an evildoer creep,
As a bad man broke through granny's glass window,

Then he struck her in the head,
While she was lying there in bed,
Dragged her out and then handcuffed her to a chair,

Well some'll tell you not to fight,
But not Granny, not that night,
So she'd bide her time 'til that thug went downstairs,

With the chair in tow she quietly would slip,
Under her pillow, 'til her hand felt pistol Grip,

Chorus:
Well Granny grab your gun,
Cause you've got to save your son,
No help is coming, this is your last chance,
And you ain't no spring chicken,
But the clock of doom is tickin,
Hammer clickin on that pistol in your hand,

And their ain't nowhere to run,
So Granny grab your gun,

Vs 2:
Well he flew up in a rage,
He was less than half her age,
Said he'd kill her dead, send her old arse to heaven,
and for sure she would have died,
But his eyes went open wide,
When like Eastwood she pulled that .357,

Shots rang out into the night,
On both sides of the fight,
With poor Granny taking bullets up and down,

Oh but Granny's pistol spoke,
And in the darkness and the smoke,
Well that piece of shite lay dying on the ground,

For 10 hours Granny bled there on the floor,
But her legend will be told Forevermore,

Chorus:
Well Granny grab your gun,
Cause you've got to save your son,
No help is coming, this is your last chance,
And you ain't no spring chicken,
But the clock of doom is tickin,
Hammer clickin on that pistol in your hand,

And their ain't nowhere to run,
So Granny grab your gun,

Outro:
Well evil men, your sins won't be forgiven,
You best watch yourselves, cause Granny, she's still livin'
Best repent for all those wicked things you've done,
'Cause you're out of luck if Granny Grabs her Gun

Why is the word heroic in quotes in thread title? I'd say this definitely qualifies.

I mean, not only did she have the presence of mind and agility to sneak into her room while handcuffed to a chair in order to retrieve her gun, but she was also able to shoot the thug dead, took several bullets herself, and survived for 10 hours before help arrived. That's one tough hero granny!

Beats me. I agree though that what she did "qualifies" her as heroic.

The prosecuting attorney said if Condon had survived, he would have been charged with felony attempted murder, kidnapping, burglary, aggravated battery and grand theft.

She saved the taxpayers a ton of money by sending that POS to a grave instead of jail.

Outstanding job grandma!
