I Want To Be Like Her!
Gun-toting 85-year-old stops thief
Way to go Leda Smith!!! (there's a picture of her at the link - for as long as the link works). That's called keeping your cool and using your head. Excellent.
And I do so love this reaction when it was all over:
What a woman! Yeah, I do want to be like her when I'm 85.
"I saw him move by my keyboard near the wall but I just walked right on past him to the bedroom and got my gun," Smith said, noting that she started keeping the .22-caliber revolver by her bed after a burglary at a neighboring home several weeks ago.

"It was exciting," Smith said of the incident. "I just hope I broke up the ring because they have been hitting a lot of places around here."
