Toledo,OH: GG w/ large S & W .357 captures home invader.

The above link is to a news story, with video, about a Toledo, Ohio woman who captured a home invader without
firing a shot. She was holding a full size Smith and Wesson .357 revolver and would have shot the man if he
didn't put his face in the dirt. He complied until the LEO's arrived.

It's not totally clear, but it seems that this woman's house is right next to a local store. So the local riffraff
float around the store and have taken some items from her car. This guy tried to kick down her door, even
though she told him multiple times that she had a gun. Sheesh.

No shots were fired. The perp was busted. Good work.

I hate when they do the video interviews of the GG reenacting the events holding a gun.
Good finger control but on at least one occasion someone walks directly in line of the barrel.

It good to see the GG's staying put and defending themselves rather than cutting and running to "safer" communities.

If more were willing to do this, some of the bad neigborhoods might have never got that way.
