POINT MARION, Pa. — An 85-year-old woman busted a would-be burglar by pulling a gun on him, then forcing him to call 911 while she kept him in her sights, police said.

------------
My point in posting this one is that no shots were fired. This will not make it into any of the studies funded by antis about defensive gun uses, because nobody got killed.

Other points are the usual ones about the ability of old folks to deal with young criminals, unless the geezer(ette) in question is armed. Young criminals do target us older foks more because they figure we are easy targets.
