Gal in wheelchair drills mugger with .357

[DesertFox]

Margaret Johnson might have looked like an easy target.

But when a mugger tried to grab a chain off her neck Friday, the wheelchair-bound 56-year-old pulled out her licensed .357 pistol and shot him, police said.

Good for her.

[Wolfcounsel]

She needs to work on her aim a little. No use sweeping trash under the rug. It needs to be taken out completely.

Gun control--A steady hand, an eagle eye, a good gun, and good ammo.

Snf! I love a story with a happy ending!

[HooverWasRight]

Did she fire 6 shots or only 5. I bet in all the excitement she lost track. :D

One thing's clear, the punk wasn't lucky.

One thing's clear, the punk wasn't lucky.Yes, he was. He took a slug in an elbow. Would that it had been in another bony part of his anatomy. I leave it to you to figure out which bone.

Just wait. Liberals will be making the mugger a victim since a gun was involved.

[DesertFox]

He was a victim, alright. A victim of an unprofessional rob job. He shoulda cased his victim first. Having discovered she wasn't as helpless as she seemed, he could then pick out another gal in another wheelchair, steal her purse and get away clean.

'Cept for his conscience, of course. I'm sure that would kill him.

Dead.

Will Sarah Brady et al. be condemning this use of a gun?

[The_Sonarman]

Excellent example of why all New York residents should be given the choice to legally carry concealed weapons.

[Jag Wife]

Just wait. Liberals will be making the mugger a victim since a gun was involved.

Can you say "Bernard Goetz"?

Yeah. Strangely familiar, ain't it?!?!
