Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 357 > 9mm Especially When Granny is Wielding it.

Well, a little good news today.


East Idaho (Good)News Article

Moral of the story: Don’t mess with Idaho gals!

Yup they shoot bullseye with anybody, they are just a little slower.

Another moral to the story, he was known to her. Most home invasions are not random. Be very careful who you let into your home and how much info you give people about it. That FedEx guy has a buddy who would love to hang out in your gun room. The mailman knows when you are away. Your kids friends might have wandering eyes.

all of the above

So glad she was able to kill that SOB, and that she made it. Good thing the son, though disabled, was able to get a phone to her.

"Go, Granny Go!"

Her son must have been a sound sleeper if he slept through a 357 and 9mm being fired upstairs.

I'm thinking he's severely, mentally disabled.

That woman deserves at least, a Medal of Heroism (if Idaho gives one.)

I wonder what kind of ammo she was using in her .357, that two bullets to the chest area (the article) did not incapacitate him enough to stop him from shooting her afterward? FMJ of some kind?? I would think holllow points in .357 would do the job right quick.

No matter, that lady was one brave and determined woman.

L.W.

Have no idea if it's the case here, but body armor is readily available and cheap these days. Would expect anyone planning a home invasion to at least have one of those bullet proof hoodies. May have been enough to absorb a lot of the impact. Something to think about in your home defense gun.

I like happy stories!

Long ago I had a box of Remington 158gr jhp for the .357 and foolishly believed they'd be good for about anything that handgun would be used on. After using a couple, and seeing a couple used, one on a mountain lion at a few feet, I discovered I was as wrong as could be. Plenty of penetration but little expansion.

God bless her.

Good for her!
Apparently 357s are still doing the job in Idehoe.

Had she used a 9mm, it would have blown his lungs right out with one shot.

Most people use .38 Special in .357 Magnum revolvers, over in handgun section amigos trying to determine if .357 is going extinct.

Predictably, the NBC report puts quotation marks around 'heroic'. That has become the standard way the liberal press expresses skepticism, disapproval, or contempt of anything remotely reflecting traditional or conservative values, in this case self-defense. It is particularly evident in any reporting about Trump.

It is glaring prima facie evidence of media bias.

Except an 85 year old woman survived "multiple" hits in her "abdomen, leg, arm and chest" from one. Maybe the bad guy was using ball ammo.....thankfully. Its still a miracle she survived, especially since it seems that medical attention was delayed quite a bit.....yes, 10 hours according to the article.

I do understand you are joking and please continue to mock our cadaver in chief any chance you get.

Just quoting your President on the efficacy of the 9mm.

Another member of the Black Widows meets a gun toting granny.

That's my thinking. He wasn't even able to call 911. It probably took her that long to get it through his head to give her the phone. Someone in her situation would do well to keep a cell phone in a carrier on her body at all times.
