Ghengis Granny

[MrBishop]

Go Get 'Em, Grandma!
Three cheers for Grannie! An 80-year-old widow in Pennsylvania played the hero when she used a ceremonial sword kept on display in her home to fend off two burglars. The robbers, aged 18 to 20, busted into Jean Freke's home before confronting the widow in her drawing room. After she was tossed to the ground, Freke, who suffers from angina, wrestled with one of the men and then threatened the other with the sword she grabbed off the wall. The raiders fled empty-handed after being threatened with the sword, which was a pre-World War I Army officer's dress sword belonging to Freke's late husband's father. Freke's arm was bruised in the attack, but she was otherwise uninjured.

She could have run them through. If I pull a gun on someone, I am prepared to shoot them. That in no way implies that I have to or will.

Acrylic? Why not aluminium (just for you, ris)? Lighter, and you can tape up the handle to fit...

If I were the Granny I'd have run them through, diced 'em up & fed 'em to the dogs - who'd have known?
