Apparently, someone rang the doorbell one afternoon. She didn't answer and then heard the back door being jiggled, and then the trash cans being moved.

"I went straight and got the .357 Magnum," she said.

"I would have used a shotgun, but I had just had new countertops done and I didn't want to tear up the kitchen."

That girl is thinking ahead...

Police say Summey, a 64-year-old widow, shot 43-year-old Timothy Doyle Huitt after he broke into her McGill Drive home. After being shot, Huitt fled through Summey's yard, leaving a trail of blood that led from her home to nearby Berry Shoals Road, where he collapsed.

No charges will be filed against Summey, Gahagan said, since she was defending herself on her property.

"What she did is within the allowable limits of the constitution of the state of South Carolina," he said.

"If you feel threatened and you are inside your house, you may defend yourself up to and including the use of deadly force."

At least she's honest....

..I wouldn't go near the kitchen if I met her now.

I wouldn'y want to be a Jehova's Witness in her neighborhood either

Hey, does that mean if I feel threatened by the Jehovah's Witnesses I can shoot them?

Just make sure and let them in the house first.
