'I'm firing!' Grandma, 72, blasts away at burglar

[TheRifleman]

GRANDMA!!!!


'Christian woman' fends off intruder with single shot from .357 Magnum



The parolee with a penchant for burglary never stood a chance.

His first mistake was hopping a fence and prowling through the backyard of a house guarded by a snarling rottweiler and a gun-toting grandma hell-bent on defending her disabled 85-year-old World War II veteran husband.


In a 9-1-1 call, a breathless Jan Cooper, of Anaheim, Calif., told dispatchers an intruder was on the back porch and was trying to get in the house through a sliding door.


Cooper begged the dispatcher to send deputies and warned that she had a gun at the ready, as her dog barked in the background.
“Back up you son of a b—-! Back up! Get the hell out of here!” she can be heard yelling.
“I’m firing!” Cooper shouted to the dispatcher as a loud bang went off.
She blasted one shot from her .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson revolver — missing the guy by just inches.

Cooper’s gun, which she has owned for about 20 years, was legally purchased and properly registered, he said.

“Even though that dog was barking, he still was desperate to get in. So who knows what may have happened if she didn’t fire that round,” Amormino said.

Cooper said she is amazed by the anger in her voice — and the curse word she let fly — after she fired the shot.

“I am a Christian woman and I’m very proud of it and I don’t curse, but after I shot, rage took hold and I just blasted away,” she said. “And, in fact, afterward my husband said, ‘I’ve never heard you talk like that!’”



THANK GOD FOR FIREARMS!!! SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN RAPED AND OR KILLED BY THIS SATANIC MADMAN!!

Wait a second wait a second....we need to determine that the man was indeed trying to rob them, wasnt just thirsty and hungry for food because an evil corporation refused to pay him $100,000 as a high school dropout.

Was he in fact on top of her...had he said his intent was to murder or rob her?

Why wouldnt she just roll her husband out of the house..hand over the keys and directions to the valuables and avoid all of this?

These are all questions that need to be asked in today's Utopia of liberalism right?

Hey you cant help but to like a story like this .

Once again another example of how our beloved police would of arrived AFTER THE FACT.

Hardly ever do police protect you during an actual crime or attack.

So you must protect yourself first and foremost ... then leave the paperwork up to the po-po's afterwards

I wonder if our Foreign Exchange President Obama will ever invite this brave mama for a cup of tea.

[Kermit]

Awesome.

Typical republican

If that Granny was a typical democrat, she would not have had a gun to protect herself and might be a corpse today which, I guess, wouldn't be so bad as the fewer democrats the better. Liberal democrats are LOSERS.

There's only two problems here... NEVER keep your Rottweiler chained up (I never do) and she missed the target (I never do that either).

I think I speak for all liberals by saying there is nothing wrong with this story. Quit making an ass of yourself rifleman. You're disillusioned by your own hate.
