Woman stops 12 ft gator with .22 pistol!

"Florida Woman Stops Alligator Attack Using a small .22 caliber Ruger Pistol." Another good reason to have a concealed weapons permit.

This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator.
Here's her story in her own words: "While walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in the Villages discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water.
It began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive.
"If I had not had my little Ruger 22 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took.
The gator got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible and his life insurance was also a big bonus!"

I used to wonder what "WTF" meant. The other day, I saw a car with a rear decal with the map of Florida with WTF written across in large letters and something was written underneath that I could not read. When we stopped at the next traffic light, I could then read it and it said "Welcome to Florida". So, now everything makes perfect sense..... :ROFLMAO:

Must be from Washington State. Our legislature just recently passed a law allowing composting human bodies for use as fertilizer. Links below. Next step is probably Soylent Green. She it!
